More sunshine today, though, which is nice 😀

Here's a picture from our garden of the last, last, last roses of the season

Yellow Pōhutukawa Metrosideros excelsa. Most of the locals have red flowers so I wonder if it’s been introduced from one of the offshore islands. Pretty though. #bloomscrolling #florespondence

Linum monogynum, NZ linen flax. White flowers. This beauty was in the #native #garden at Queens Park, #Invercargill Southland. New Zealand. It had scrambled up into a Sophora prostrata. Photos taken 14 November.

The Linum monogynum is growing on a large rock and has a generous display of white five-petalled flowers, with some also visible in the Sophora prostrata behind. The path leads further into the extensive native garden.

A little almost-collage of a few lovely things:

* Hebe flower cluster just about to explode
* Bearded Iris. I love irises...
* Red echium that the bees love
* Rhodohypoxis - a cute little alpine

#BloomScrolling #Flowers #Plants #Florespondence #Gardening #MacroPhotography #Hebe #Iris #Echium #Rhodohypoxis

Closeup of a cluster of dark pink buds of a hebe, all showing colour but not yet opened. They look like a pink firework exploding
Closeup of a peach-coloured bearded iris flower, with yellow and white markings on the falls and dark yellow "beard"
Closeup view of the small flowers of a bright red echium. Each flower sits on a stem with numerous others, and together the stems form a large (over 1 metre-long) flower spike. On the same stem as each flower, other flowers are budded up but not yet open. Occasionally a long thin leaf pokes through between the flowers

With a name like "hellroot" (amongst others), you'd expect this Orobanche minor to be really poisonous or something.

In truth, it's a parasite that has lost the ability to photosynthesize, attaching itself to another plant and stealing water and nutrients from it.

Quite pretty, in a hairy, slightly ominous way...

I got to see sakura blooming today, and I was told it was because the unseasonably long and warm weather we’ve had this fall and winter in Japan has tricked the tree into behaving like it’s spring. :kitty_yikes: it will be 22°C tomorrow… #bloomscrolling #sakura

I always plant pansies in the fall by my doorstop, where I can see them as I am coming and going. They don't mind the cold and will keep cheerfully blooming all winter, until finally giving up in the heat of July.

Preliminary results:

In the past six months I have attempted to pollinate each flower on my Spathiphyllum, with nothing to show for it: while the spadix does grow initially, the spathe will eventually wither and there are no seeds to be found inside the spadix (see the first photo).

So what if I pollinate the spadix before the spadix has opened? This looks much more promising: the spadix grows much larger (see the second photo).

I have pollinated lots of open inflorescences with no results other than some initial growth, but no seeds.

I have pollinated three closed spadices, and all three have grown to a volume that is currently at least twice the volume of any open-pollinated spadix.

The proof is in the pudding, they say, so it's a bit early to conclude anything, but so far it looks like a promising pattern.

Am I really the only person on the entire fediverse who has attempted seed propagation of their peace lily?

Sun orchids (Thelymitra) in flower along a short stretch of track in Namadgi NP, ACT - a lot of variations in both colour and floral structures at this location. Most plants here are T. alpina but there may also be other T. nuda complex species (or hybrids) in the mix.

Closeup of the flowering head of an aloe plant. It has formed a wide, currently flat-topped cluster of orange flower buds, each with purple and red stripes down its tip. At the very centre it looks like one of the flowers may have partially opened, facing directly upward - which is a little odd as they usually flower facing downward, and starting from the rim of the cluster and working inward

Succulent bloom against a background of worn wood and stones. A colorful stalk arises from a brown, dead looking trunk. Its many thin pointed arms are pale green near their base and almost neon pink at their tips. 
It reminds me of a sea creature, like an anemone.
Brilliant orange gazanias against a backdrop of dark green leaves. Gazanias are daisy like, and come in many different colors. They are extremely hardy and can thrive in a variety of climates
Angular pinkish purple Bougainvillea blossoms with small yellow centers. They come in many colors and thrive in California with little care. 
There is a dusty miller plant in the foreground off to the right side. Its leaves are a silver grey and look like lace. They do well in a lot of places, but they love our mild weather and grow to a remarkable size.

Three views of Arctotis flowers at different stages - the first when the petals are just starting to peek out of a new bud; the second when the flower is newly open but the petals all stand up vertically; finally, fully open and soaking up the sun

#BloomScrolling #Florespondence #flowers #plants #MacroPhotography #Nature #NaturePhotography #Arctotis

Closeup of a heavy round flower bud drooping at the end of its red-coloured, hairy stem. The tips of the first few petals getting ready to break open the bud are showing, facing down toward the ground. The bud itself is backed by hairy modified leaves that curl upward away from the bud
Strongly upright, bright orange petals overlap each other, their backs faintly specked with tiny hairs. Deep orange parallel veins run the length of each  petal
Closeup of the centre and bright yellow petals of another arctotis flower. The petals curve gently back away from the centre, which is formed of rings of short upright tubes covered in orange pollen sprouting from a black base, then a single ring of fluffy structures looking like tiny two-leaved seedlings.
