Why, hello there!

#BloomScrolling #Cactus

A tiny cactus “thumb” leaning at an angle against a very soft bokeh. The cactus has two teeny pink flowers with yellow centers that look like eyes, and a pointy flower bud between them that looks like a nose. It’s impossible not to see a face. The whole feeling is whimsical.

Finally got around to visiting the gardens of my local National Trust property, Llanerchaeron, yesterday. The walled gardens are inspiring. Not that I can aspire to having a walled garden but there are some great ideas for planting combinations, techniques for growing fruit and veg etc. and a cutting garden I can only dream of but maybe could replicate on a very small scale. I also came over all emotional. It was so beautiful.

Photo of a border in a walled garden full of colourful blooms that resemble a fireworks display. Yellow echinacea and day lilies, red crocosima, something very pink (phlox maybe) and ditto something white. Green foliage of a climbing rose (I think) smothers the red brick wall behind

Photo of part of a walled garden showing raised beds planted with various herbs, most of which are flowering - white, pink, purple, yellow, blue and green. Gravelled paths lead between. Surrounding the garden is a red brick wall against which are rambling plants and trees. A brick built cottage peers over the wall at the end. The sky is cloudy.

Photo of a riot of plants in an old greenhouse frame. There are blue cornflowers and pale ponk cosmos, yellow poppies, bright pink sweetpeas scrambling over a cane teepee, and a delicious creamy pink dahlia shelters under a huge, umbrella-like palm leaf. There’s a semi-rendered red brick wall behind.

Photo of lavender blue globe thistle flowers growing en masse in a border in front of a red brick wall. They are leaning forward at a jaunty angle. The flower in the foreground is in focus with a couple of honeybees feeding. The blooms behind out of focus. The whole patch was buzzing with bees. Trees peek over the wall.

Olha só que bonita essa árvore. Ipê rosa do trampo. Está deslumbrante.

Desconheço hashtags de árvores ou plantas, se alguém conhecer me avise para fazer marcação.

Edit:

#bloomScrolling

Árvore alta, de tronco magro, completamente florida em um tom rosa forte. Abaixo da árvore, há plantas menores, incluindo uma outra árvore não florida. A foto está iluminada. É possível ver partes de prédios em volta das árvores.

I love the centers of these flowers, they look like some beautiful eldritch horror spilling into our world from between purple fairy wings.

A biblically accurate fae abomination 💜

A closeup of a light purple flower, its reproductive parts jut forward from the hairy white center into brilliant dark purple tentacles that curl outward, sticky with pollen.

Last night in the greenhouse...

'Queen of the Night' a night-flowering Cereus though not sure which one. The large (5"-6") flowers start to open late afternoon but are not in their prime until after dark. Then they're over by the morning.

A huge whitish flower with greenish sepals, with lots and lots of stamens and a stigma in the middle.The photo has been taken at night, so the flower is bright against a dark background.

#Gardening #Wildflowers #BloomScrolling

This is the second season of my mini wildflower meadow on our front yard extension. It used to be just weeds and now it's covered in flowers. My neighbors thought I was crazy but now they are very complimentary.

A view of a profusion of Black Eyed Susans (Rudbeckia hirta) with saffron-colored petals and very dark (nearly black) centers.

The focus is on a single Indian Blanket Flower (Gaillardia pulchella) with red petals that are ringed in bright yellow, and a red and yellow center. There are more growing elsewhere in the mini meadow.

I think this is False Sunflower (Heliopsis helianthoides), as identified by the iNaturalist Seek app. It is over 6 feet tall and has taken over the mini meadow this year. It did not make any appearance last summer.

A low-angle, medium shot of several lavender plants. The composition is dominated by the lavender in the foreground. Small violet flowers are in full bloom at the top of the stems. The background includes a clear, blue sky with a few green trees and reddish-pink flowers. The image is brightly lit, with strong contrasts between the purple blooms, green foliage, blues sky and earth tones.

A ground-level shot of vibrant green foliage with tall stalks of purple-pink catmint flowers extending towards a clear, bright blue sky. The flowers are in full bloom, creating a dense, natural setting. Overlapping foliage and treetops appear in the background.

A field of crimson clover. I couldn’t get a decent photo of the whole field but it was pretty spectacular.

So many bumblebees and other smaller bees are living their best lives getting intimate with the little purple blossoms on the Agastache foeniculum stalks, also called Giant Hyssop or Anise Hyssop.

Slow-motion pollinators!

In back on railing corner is a bowl filled with rocks we fill with water for the bees.

Interesting that they aren’t competing. Maybe some pollinators do compete but i don’t think I’ve ever seen it — except maybe hummingbirds!

I love this time of year for the yellow coneflowers. These are volunteers, and the patch has been growing and spreading from year to year.
#bloomscrolling

Looking down at a large patch of several dozen yellow coneflowers. They have yellow petals and brown centers, and deep green leaves.

#BloomScrolling #Nature #Photography

This is a close-up, low-light photograph of the petals of a hydrangea flower with a dark and moody aesthetic. The petals are deep red, magenta, and purple, with some areas appearing almost black. Their texture is visible, showing fine veins and a slightly rough, velvety surface. The lighting is soft and directional, creating subtle highlights and deep shadows that add to the dramatic feel.
