Currently #reading My Beijing by Nie Jun, which is a very well-written & absolutely beautiful comic. It's actually beautiful to the point of being distracting- I stop every other page so I can paint parts of it!

I went for a walk and the it's like spring out there! Well aside from the heat, which is still #NOLA summer! Just look at how the neighborhood is in bloom! #BloomScrolling #FlowerFriday #Flowers

Close up of a mess of Purple Heart growing in pine needles. Soft purple, almost white, flowers are at the tips of many of the purple stems with their broad purple leaves!
A Wild Petunia! PlantNet isn't sure if it's a "Hairyflower" petunia or a "Fringe-Leaf". A bright purple blossoms sits atop a little weed with fuzzy buds and leaves.
A bunch of purple trumpet flowers growing on a bright green vine that has wrapped around some core to form a kind of floral post. I've seen them called Tievine, railroad creeper, and Wild Morning Glory.
And my beautiful aloe! The tubular blooms haven't opened yet but are turning red-orange as the clusters spread out. PlantNet claims this is a "Soap Aloe."

"Cop Car" Moth
Rio Grande National Forest, CO

Well, that's what a local called it—Gnophaelia vermiculata if you want to be all scientific about it. The flower is Black-tipped Ragwort. Found at about 10K feet elevation. I sometimes forget how important moths are to pollination.

African Violet # 3

Here's another one, from a bit of a different angle. I used an old 50 mm lens on 39 mm of extension again, and stacked 15 frames, concentrating on the central part of the flower only. For scale, these flowers are about the size of a quarter.

A close up photo of an African Violet. The flower is viewed from the side, with the pistil and anther in sharp focus, while the rest is blurred. The flower is a faded light purple with a matching colored pistil and three bright yellow anther. The surface of the flower petals appear to shimmer, and fine fibers can be seen along the edges of the base of the pistil and the edges of the petals. A second matching violet is facing away from the camera in the background of the image.

African Violet # 1

This is another focus-stack--one of the first I ever did so I don't remember all the parameters, except that it was done with a Kiron 105mm macro lens, which was a heavy, awkward beast of a lens to use. There were probably 20-30 images taken and stacked. A nearby window was used for lighting.

Closeup of an African Violet flower. The petals are a deep violet and the surface texture appears to sparkle. The edges of the petals show fine fibers. The pistil is also violet, while the four visible anther are bright yellow.

You can't look at Sunflowers and feel sad.Their big, bright faces seem to be smiling at you as they follow the sun each day. This red and yellow Sunflower is one of my favs.

The Angel's Trumpet or Brugmansia is a tropical, exotic shrub that I put outside in the spring and bring inside in the winter. The large, pendulous shaped flowers are most fragrant in the evening when they attract the pollinating moths. When the shrub is in full bloom the display is outstanding.

This is the same bee I posted last night, sleeping under a zinnia. Still there in the morning before the sun hit this side of the flower patch.

Faded beauty from Garbatella #Rome for #FlowerFriday #BloomScrolling #Florespondence

An old (vaguely decrepit) ocre wall, a window with green shutters nearly shut against heat, the tiniest of (dirty) white stucco planter with pink geraniums crawling down. The window (and geranium) are somewhat off centre to the rigth. A cable can be seen coming out of the window to the left, probably meant to hang laundry out.

Sacred Datura along the Recreation Trail
Albuquerque Open Space, NM
[click for full photo]

From earlier this week along the trail I regularly ride. The trail in this section is along the top of the east side Rio Grande levee. The river is beyond the large cottonwoods on the right, the bosque. Most years there are easily a dozen of these lovely Sacred Datura plants; this is the only one thriving this season. Perhaps due to lack of rain this summer. The grasses are dry and brown. I'm lucky that I can ride here from my home.

I grew the sunflower, lavender, and the marigolds myself. The lillies are perennial gifts from former owners.

Magnificent ❤️

The Red Cardinal Flower or Lobelia Cardinalis, is a native summer blooming wildflower that loves water and can be found along streambanks, ponds and swamps. It has a deep red velvety flower with deep green foliage and the Hummingbirds and Butterflies love it.

The Sea Holly is a fascinating, unique plant that is steel blue and spiny. It has a wonderful architectural form and colored foliage that is valued in the summer garden. It definitely adds interest and the blue stars are quite striking.
