A valuable nectar source for butterflies and bees as this species of scabious has a very long flowering period from July to September. Can be known by many other names such as Lady's Pincushion, Blue Bonnets, Snake Flower, Blackamoors Beauty, Pins-and-Needles etc. This plant was also popular with the old herbalists and used as a herb to treat mange, itches, and scabies.

The Church of Holy Virgin Mary is the oldest and most valuable architectural monument in Inowrocław. Built of granite blocks, closed from the east with a semicircular apse and from the west with two stone and brick towers. Its construction probably began before 1186, during the reign of Duke Leszek (1173–1186). The brick towers were probably completed at the beginning of the 13th century. The church was put into worship before October 6, 1233, when the diocesan synod for the clergy of Kujawy took place.

The church erected on the local hill looks beautiful, but it is a pity that it is inaccessible for passing tourists. It is impossible to see its interior even through the lattice, as is used in other churches.

Kościół p. w. Imienia NMP jest najstarszym i najcenniejszym zabytkiem architektury w Inowrocławiu. Zbudowany z granitowych ciosów, od wschodu zamknięty półkolistą absydą a od zachodu kamienno – ceglanymi dwiema wieżami. Prawdopodobnie jego budowę rozpoczęto przed rokiem 1186, za panowania księcia Leszka (1173–1186). Ceglane wieże ukończono zapewne na początku XIII wieku. Kościół oddano na potrzeby kultu przed 6 października 1233 rokiem, kiedy to odbył się synod diecezjalny dla duchowieństwa kujawskiego.

Kościół wzniesiony na lokalnym wzgórzu pięknie się prezentuje, ale wielka szkoda że dla przejezdnego turysty jest on niedostępny. Nie można zobaczyć jego wnętrza nawet przez kratę, jak to jest stosowane w innych kościołach.

There are 9 types of echinacea, three of which are used for medicinal purposes, native to North America. In herbal medicine, the leaves and seeds of this plant are used, but its roots have the most valuable healing properties.

For centuries, Echinacea has endowed people with its extraordinary beauty and healing properties. For its lovely inflorescences, Echinacea is called the "American golden flower" or "evening sun". And today, with its unusually attractive inflorescences, it will decorate any garden, and beekeepers will appreciate it - after all, it is an excellent honey plant. Blooming from mid-summer to mid-autumn, Echinacea flowers attract many butterflies, bees and bumblebees to the garden. As a honey plant, the plant is valuable because it blooms at the end of summer, when the main honey plants have already faded. From one hectare of continuous crops of echinacea, 60-130 kg of honey can be obtained.

Only Echinacea purpurea has been well studied, it is widely used in medicine and is popular in ornamental gardening. The American Indians, knowing about the healing power of echinacea, cultivated it centuries ago and used it as a universal medicine for a variety of diseases.

Echinacea roots and herb contain essential oils, resins, phytosterols, carbohydrates, isobutylamides, fatty oil, and a variety of other substances. 7 groups of biologically active substances have been found in plants, which include polysaccharides, flavonoids, caffeic acid derivatives, essential lipids, alkylamides, vitamins and trace elements.

Experts recommend taking echinacea for any septic conditions, symptoms of blood poisoning, meningitis, bronchitis, tonsillitis, otitis media, burns, boils and purulent ulcers, gangrene, stomatitis, gum disease, candidiasis, psoriasis, eczema, inflammatory processes of the genitourinary system, postlercosis , gonorrhea, herpes, hemorrhoids.

As it turned out, echinacea not only stimulates antiviral and antibacterial immunity, but also directly, like antibiotics, causes the death of bacteria, viruses and some fungi. It is especially effective to use echinacea during epidemics, as it helps the body to cope with viral diseases. Echinacea extracts inhibit the growth and reproduction of streptococcus, staphylococcus, Escherichia coli. The preparations of this plant are effective in the treatment of prostatitis, gynecological disorders, various wound processes (trophic ulcers, osteomyelitis). Juice from fresh inflorescences accelerates blood clotting. In general, the remedy is recognized as non-toxic, but in some cases it is not recommended to take echinacea - during pregnancy and lactation, with tuberculosis, leukemia, multiple sclerosis, collagenosis.

only in two situations....

First... before getting it !!

Second... after losing it !!

So, take care of every little thing in your life !! :-).

Best detail in large view.

みなさま、ただいま！

室堂／立山に行ってきました。

銀世界を思い描いていましたが、10年に1度という温暖な年で、雪はほとんどありませんでした。

薄氷が張る、みくりが池など、貴重な景色を見ることができました。

Hi friends, I'm home!

I went to Murodo / Tateyama.

I had been envisioned the silver world, in warm year that once in 10 years, snow was not almost.

Thin ice is Hull, The Mikurigaike Pond, etc.,I was able to see the valuable views.

Compiled by C.H.C.A. van Sypesteyn (1857 - 1937), a valuable art collection forms the foundation of the Castle-Museum Sypesteyn in Loosdrecht. In addition to the collection of portraits, furniture, silver and glass objects, clocks and sculptures, there is also a beautiful collection of porcelain. The Loosdrecht porcelain is particularly worth seeing.

The castle gardens

A garden with hedges, moats and decorative wrought-iron gates characterize Sypesteyn Castle. Via paths and bridges, you can walk around the maze and cross the canal and take a leisurely stroll through the orchards, the park and the castle garden. You will discover all sorts of indigenous and exotic trees during your stroll.

Tribute to Van Sypesteyn

The lord of the castle did not build it merely as a place to house his art collection. As the last descendant of the Van Sypesteyn line, he wanted to build the castle to pay tribute to his family. The stunning garden and park were built in the 17th-century style. Surrounded by the Loosdrecht lakes and the Vecht River, the area around the castle is also magnificent.

Murau

Gothic architecture

The parish of Murau is characterized by its five historically valuable churches, as well as by its various forms of worship.

The Murau parish church is one of the earliest and most interesting Gothic sacred buildings in Styria. It goes back to the founding of Otto II von Liechtenstein, the then lord of Murau. Construction began in 1284 above the town, halfway up the south slope of the Schlossberg.

In 1296 the consecration in honor of St. Matthew, the final completion of the building, however, dragged on for a few more years. In 1311, the donor's will reports that the church building, a cruciform basilica with a high choir and a heavy, stone crossing tower, was not quite finished at that time. Late Gothic additions and extensions from the first half of the 17th century. - when after the extinction of the House of Liechtenstein-Murau, the rule passed to the house of the later princes Schwarzenberg - are witnesses of building changes and additions, which, however, in no way changed the basic character of the early Gothic building.

Another slide restoration from the 1990s, this one showing the waste from slate mining in Wales.

Today of course, such waste is a valuable asset with many uses.

It was a truly fantastic summer evening, which touched me deeply in my heart, because to see the beauties that evening was one of the most valuable gifts for me in summer 2017.

I can not call it any other than a "gift," for what can we do with it alone without the help of the Almighty, the Creator of all things.

This summer grass was still there, though the farmer should have already cut it off. The butterflies were right there, where I stood with my camera and shone in the evening light all their beauty. In addition, I was able to shoot them at the right moment, when the last rays of the sun once again shone the stalks of the meadow in a golden light. What else is it as a great gift, because I contributed nothing, except to accept it with gratitude and hold a small piece of it with my camera.

I thank my Creator in heaven for all His goodness and love every day I get from Him, for every day I can experience here on earth is a gift from heaven.

Dedication:

I would like to thank all my faithful and loving flickr friends for their sympathy and love for my little work. Also all the lovable words from you delight my heart so much. I am so happy about the many dear friends I could get to know through my pictures here. Some of them have even become very close friends for me, a real friendship that carries me.

Prior notice:

I will not present photos here for a while, (between September & October) because I am traveling for a few weeks. I will tell you when this will be. I miss you already now !!!

Pretty much best friends

( It's one of my favorite movies. If you have time, please watch it. It's all about real friendship)

The Common Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) of the genus Dandelion (Taraxacum) within the Asteraceae family is a perennial plant that, if not being fought as a weed, is valued as a valuable medicinal plant and is also used as a healthy food in the kitchen. As a wild plant, dandelion is widespread in the temperate zones of the entire northern hemisphere and grows with preference on nitrogen-rich (fat) meadows, at roadsides and at ditches.

Photos of ornaments like this rarely appear on web. They are coming from the jewellery collection of the emperors of the forbidden city in central Beijing, China. The forbidden city, a World Heritage Site of UNESCO, is an imperial palace complex, constructed from 1406 to 1420, consisting of 980 buildings in traditional Chinese palatial architecture, which has influenced cultural developments in East Asia and elsewhere.

The collections of the Palace Museum are based on the Qing imperial collection. Today, there are over a million rare and valuable works of art in the permanent collection of the Palace Museum, including paintings, ceramics, seals, steles, sculptures, inscribed wares, bronze wares, enamel objects, etc.

The illustrated early Chinese jewellery masterpiece is a hairpin decorated mainly by blue kingfisher (Alcyone) feathers, as well as butterfly feathers, red coral and other materials. It was indented for personal adornment of the empress. On the left in the background is visible an outstanding brooch, made also by blue kingfisher feathers.

The photo was taken in the context of the exhibition "Forbidden City: The Private Rooms of Emperor Qianlong.” at Acropolis Museum.

International Fairy Day is celebrated every year on June 24. The idea behind the day is to appreciate and uplift the celebration of mythical creatures such as fairies and to use their tales to teach valuable lessons to the children. The concept of having a utopia where there are fairies and mythical creatures and that anything can happen drives the children to aim for the things that are considered impossible by the current systems, with the confidence that they can do it. So in demonstrating the belief that fairies exist, we celebrate International Fairy Day.

The martial eagle (Polemaetus bellicosus) is a large eagle native to sub-Saharan Africa. It is the only member of the genus Polemaetus.

A species of the booted eagle subfamily (Aquillinae), it has feathering over its tarsus. One of the largest and most powerful species of booted eagle, it is a fairly opportunistic predator that varies it prey selection between mammals, birds and reptiles. Its hunting technique is unique as it is one of few eagle species known to hunt primarily from a high soar, by stooping on its quarry. An inhabitant of wooded belts of otherwise open savanna, this species has shown a precipitous decline in the last few centuries due to a variety of factors.

The martial eagle is one of the most persecuted bird species in the world. Due to its habit of taking livestock and regionally valuable game, local farmers and game wardens frequently seek to eliminate martial eagles, although the effect of eagles on this prey is almost certainly considerably exaggerated.

Currently, the martial eagle is classified with the status of Vulnerable to extinction by the IUCN.

The immature bird looks quite different from the adult. Immature are paler above, and they have white plumage on the underparts. They have a small crest on the crown. They reach adult plumage at about 7 years. - Wikipedia

With this picture I would like to thank you, Soul. I once asked you why you wear the phoenix as a tattoo and you answered me honestly that it reminds you to keep getting up, even when everything seems pointless and hopeless. Your words have always left a deep impression on me. You are a very special and valuable person. Thank you for everything. ♡ღ♡

The pride not only of Šariš, but also of the whole of Slovakia is the ancient town of BARDEJOV, which is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful Slovak towns. It was included in the UNESCO World Natural and Cultural Heritage List in 2000. Bardejov has also a fitting nickname – “the most gothic town in Slovakia”.

The picturesque square with colorful burgher houses, the majestic Basilica Minor of St. Egidius, the Jewish suburb, the historic town hall, the Executioner's House, well-preserved city walls with bastions ... A huge number of valuable and remarkable monuments in a relatively small area. The city center is formed by the Town Hall Square surrounded on three sides by 46 burgher houses on narrow medieval plots. In the middle stands the Basilica Minor of St. Egidius, in front of which is located the original pair of bells Ján and Urban. The bells were originally placed in the bell tower of the Basilica’s tower. The old bells got damaged over time, so they were replaced by new castings. The Basilica of St. Egidius was built in the middle of the 14th century and contains a unique collection of 11 late Gothic winged altars. Feeling like climbing a flight of stairs? The tower of the basilica offers the most beautiful views of the city.

our nature - a valuable asset.

The Town Hall in Wschowa is a valuable monument of the city.

It is mentioned for the first time in 1435. During the fire in 1529 it was partially destroyed, but the tower has survived. The town hall was rebuilt in the years 1556-1612, again damaged during a fire in 1685 and soon rebuilt as a three-storey building with a baroque façade. Today's town hall is the result of reconstruction from 1860-1870 in neo-Gothic style.

Ratusz we Wschowie stanowi cenny zabytek miasta.

Po raz pierwszy jest wzmiankowany w 1435 roku. Podczas pożaru w 1529 został częściowo zniszczony, ale zachowała się wieża. Ratusz odbudowano w latach 1556-1612, ponownie uszkodzony podczas pożaru w 1685 a wkrótce ponownie odbudowany jako budowla trzykondygnacyjna z barokowym wystrojem elewacji. Dzisiejszy ratusz to wynik przebudowy z lat 1860-1870 w stylu neogotyckim.

Dark orange & yellow crocosmia

plant.Crocosmia

Crocosmia, or Montbretias as they are colloquially known, are really valuable for adding warm red and orange tones into the summer border, a contrast in shape and form to the wealth of summer daisies in flower at that time. Given conditions where they are happy they can be rewarding and long lived. They retreat each winter to a corm – a swollen stem – each year producing new bulb like structure. Over the years these annual corms can pile up to form lengthy strings with the older corms having some role in providing nutrition to the youngest active corm. It is on account of this that the old practice of annual lifting of corms can be detrimental. Also old wisdom had you lift and replant corms late in the year, a practice that didn’t give the corms enough time to settle before winter.

Crocosmia are relatively easy to grow and it might seem that all Crocosmia are similar and require the same treatment. There is a universal desire for a warm spot in sun or dappled shade and a soil that is neither excessively heavy, nor boggy. However, a little study of the parent species can lead to a greater understanding of the condition individual varieties would really like. Several of the species are to be found growing in light woodland in the wild (C.aurea and C.potsii) or in damp grassland (C.paniculata). As a generalisation they come from environments which are moist for the growing season.

The varying hardiness of Crocosia cultivars can be attributed to the contribution the parents make to their makup. Varieties of Crocosmia potsii are considered the most cold hardy, with those of Crocosmia aurea being the least. Cold isn’t the only hardiness issue, Winter wet is also a factor, with Crocosmia potsii being exposed to a fair degree of moisture all year around in its native environment whilst other species such as Crocosmia pearsei needing a lot more exposure to warm dry conditions to be happy.

In the growing season, Crocosmia masoniorum likes it on the warm and dry side, tending to decline in rich moist soils. This contrasts with the requirement of Crocosmia x crocosmiiflora for a moist, rich warm spot to produce of its best. Cultivars of Crocosmia paniculata tend to be shy to flower in dry conditions.

If you live in an area where you need to lift Crocosmia corms against the winter cold, it is essential to keep them from drying out over winter. Store them in peat or shaving over winter to prevent them dessicating and when it comes to Spring plant them in cool conditions to allow them to rehydrate before shooting. Planting warm from a dry corm is a recipe for disaster.

The name comes from the Greek ‘krokos’ = saffron and ‘osme’ = smell, referring to the strong smell of saffron given off by the dried flowers when immersed in water.
