There is a volunteer tomato plant growing in my wildflower garden. I've never grown tomatoes in that space. I'm letting it stay. Maybe it will be productive, but it will have to outcompete the nearby purple coneflowers that are reaching maturation. (photo attached)

The photo is focused on a young tomato plant that is surrounded by a dense array of wildflowers in various stages of maturity. The first to bloom are Sweet Williams that are visible behind the tomato plant. There are light pink, dark pink, and white varieties of Sweet Williams.

Poppy Pod

#BloomScrolling #Nature #Photography

A top-down, view of a poppy seed pod. The pod is a soft, muted green, somewhat spherical but flattened at the top where the stigma disk is prominently featured.

The stigma disk is the most striking element, forming a star-like pattern with twelve radiating segments or rays. These segments are a warm golden-brown color, with darker, reddish-brown lines running down their centers, creating a strong contrast against the lighter parts.

The background is softly blurred, providing a shallow depth of field that keeps the focus entirely on the poppy pod. The colors in the background are mostly muted greens and browns.

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.

#gardening #BloomScrolling

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

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.

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.

ALT

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.

ALT

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!
