A few summers ago I was walking through a meadow in Dog Canyon, Texas when I spotted this tiny, colorful wildflower blooming in the tall grasses. I thought it was beautiful in its simplicity.

Some plants do not shed their leaves in autumn, for good reason

Retention of dead biomass by plants is common in the temperate herbaceous flora and can be related to certain plant traits, indicating relevance to ecosystem functioning. These are the main findings of an experimental study on more than 100 plant species jointly performed by researchers from the Germany and Czech Republic.

I plan on keeping an eye on this one and update you with its blooming evolution.

Mine don't flower at four o clock they are much later as the sun goes down. Proper name Mirabilis jalapa, or another common name The marvel of Peru.

More #Camellia for your viewing pleasure, from suburban #BenteighEast #Australia!

These blooms are bountiful and healthy. The petal structure is bright and their heads are full.

They’re a robust flower that are so giving, especially this time of year in the southern hemisphere during #winter time.

Stumbled on this truly awesome #Magnolia × soulangeana (Magnolia denudata × Magnolia liliiflora) this morning, also known as the saucer magnolia or sometimes the tulip tree.

It is a hybrid flowering plant in the genus Magnolia and family Magnoliaceae.

It is a deciduous tree with large, early-blooming flowers and I’ve seen many lately, in various shades of white, pink, and purple.

I read with note that it is one of the most commonly used magnolias in horticulture, being widely planted in the British Isles, especially in the south of England; and in the United States, especially the east and west coasts.

Elegance all the way!

Pink #Camellia blooming proud in #Malvern #Australia.

Noticed most camellias in Melbs atm are bountiful and full flowered. They’ve come out in the ‘correct’ time. Most of trees are jam packed with colour!

And they’re healthy, with bright green foliage.

Although, this strange ol season and the sunshine of late (we’re 2/3 into winter), is bringing out many spring-time flora out to play, ahead of their usual time.

On Tuesday we found 4 of the 6 Gentians in the Sierra Nevada mountains. It's highly likely we saw 5, the two tube gentians are very similar. Some of these flowers are so tiny, most people don't see them. Info on each picture.
#photography #wildflowers #gentians #sierranevada #flora #bloomscrolling #spain #nature #andalucia

Gentianella tenella (Lapland Gentian). Grows between 2800 and 3200m. It has a wide distribution but is classed as a threatened species in the Sierra Nevada.
Gentiana boryi. Grows between 2200 and 3200m. I believe this only grows in Iberia and only on two other mountain ranges. It is classed as a vulnerable species.
Gentiana pneumonanthe subsp. depressa (Marsh Gentian). It grows between 2200 and 3200m. It is endemic to the Sierra Nevada and is classed as a vulnerable species.
Gentiana sierrae (Spring Gentian). Grows between 1700 and 3200m. It is endemic to the Sierra Nevada.

#DimorphothecaPluvialis, common names white African daisy, Cape rain-daisy, Cape daisy or rain daisy, is a plant species native to South Africa and Namibia.

The camera depicted these beauties perfectly; they were just as vibrant and visually dynamic in appearance irl, as you’re seeing here.

The colours of the petals; amazing whites, violets and purple colours bleeding into each other and dark disk flowers (florets; those that make up the centre - pic 3), contrasted with a small ring of orange are a feast for the visual senses!

These #Camellia are a little smaller than the many larger flowering heads that are blooming at the moment throughout #melbourne.

But are no less impressive.

Vibrant colours and green foliage are most likely, in part, attributed to the rains of late and the glimpses of winter sunshine throughout the past fortnight.

#daffodil in winter here in #melbourne are most definitely cheering up the landscape!

It’s botanic name is #NarcissusTazetta and many varieties and colours are popping up in many suburbs here atm.

Mostly observed are yellow, but these cream/yellow variety are growing with vigour in #ormond #Australia on a roadside verge.

They spout and grow from a bulb and hang about for anywhere between 6 weeks to 6 months, depending on conditions, location, soil etc I read with interest.

Interesting facts;

There are at least 25 different daffodil species and up to 13,000 hybrids.

They're the official 10th wedding anniversary flower.

Daffodils contain sap that's often poisonous to other plants.

More bush / forrest pics from #Fernshaw, #YarraRangersNationalPark in #victoria #Australia.

The #Gumtree’s and #Ferns here, are epic… densely populated and happy and healthy.

The tall gums provide the perfect shade canopy for the ground dwelling ferns, which thrive all year round.

This day (pictured) ranged from 3 - 9 degrees Celsius (37 - 48 F), depending on the altitude.

Surprisingly, even during mid-winter, small bright green fern fronds (called ‘fiddleheads’) were in the early process of unrolling on a number of these plants.

I think this is a #manuka. Aka LeptospermumScoparium, (Māori pronunciation: maːnʉka), New Zealand teatree, broom tea-tree, or just tea tree.

It is native to New Zealand and south-east Australia.

Its nectar produces Mānuka honey.

Love it’s tiny flowers - this series of bushes measured around 4 x 2 metres and was waist height (around a metre).

#BanksiaPraemorsa, commonly known as the cut-leaf banksia, is a species of shrub or tree; it’s a #Banksia.

It occurs in a few isolated populations on the south coast of Western Australia.

Grows well here in #Melbs and they’re displaying in abundance in gardens throughout our grand city atm, during mid-winter!

The woody spiked head is a greeny -yellow colour, on this one anyways.

Many I’ve noticed present in various colours; some rustic brown, others a deep red too. Just beautiful.

The detail of the rough, woody florettes are astounding.

Banksia praemorsa grows as a shrub to 4 m (13 foot) with a relatively thick sturdy trunk that branches quite close to the ground. 

The bark is rough and flaky. Flowering occurs from now, through to November. The flower spikes arise from the ends of small lateral branches up to 27 cm (11 in) high, they are composed of hundreds of individual ‘flowers’ growing out of a vertical woody spike.

It is commonly known as the oil-seed camellia or tea oil camellia.

It is adorned with a multitude of stunning flowers, as can be observed on pic 4.

My ID app tells me this gorgeous tree is a #JapaneseApricot.

The flower is a beloved subject in the traditional painting and poetry of countries including China, Korea, Vietnam, and Japan… and is usually called ‘plum blossom’.

The fruit of the tree is used in juices, as a flavouring for alcohol, as a pickle, and in sauces. It is also used in traditional medicine.

Despite its practical uses, this tree is undeniably visually divine!
