#bloomscrolling

On the one hand, I love the arching, enameled ferns with their bright green tops and fuzzy brown spores underneath. On the other hand, my goodness am I going to be uprooting baby ferns all next spring! Anyway, fertility is pressing onward before the snows...

#bloomscrolling

A tangle of ferns. The ferns are like huge feathers -- bright jade green and almost looking hard and scaly on top, with a texture like green snakeskin. Underneath, they are velvety with spore cases, hundreds of tiny, red-brown dots on every centimeter of surface. The fronds arch and curve elegantly, like the arms of dancers holding a pose. Their curves reveal the tops and undersides at the same time.

A long, thin pod, the pod of a pink milkweed plant. It's smaller and smoother than the pods of the common milkweed, but the idea is the same -- the outer, brown husk is splitting, revealing a still=green inner core which has also split, and inside it are the overlapping golden seeds, like the scales of a fish, and just a glimpse of the silk that will soon lift them on the wind. Around the pod are the spotted red-green leaves of the plant as well as the remains of an earlier pod -- the curved shell and a few tendrils of silk that have yet to launch into the air.

Spirea in full bloom. My camera isn't quite good enough to capture the blue of their color; the picture is too purple. But the long stem with the alternating leaf clusters and blossoms are there. The blossom clusters look like the tutus of a group of ballerinas descending a staircase, sticking out from the stem with flutes and clusters of color and little spikes. Each flute (like the champagne glass, not the instrument) is a floweret, and the spikes are the anthers, waiting for a willing bee or fly.

Vibrant pink roses glisten with dewdrops, nestled among lush dark green leaves, creating a stunning natural contrast and a serene ambiance.

Against round green leaves and curling stems, two round flowers blaze forth in a panoply of yellow and shade after shade of orange. There are blotches of colour and streaks from the centre to the outer edge of the broad petals. It's a riot of colour, sunset in miniature.

Some of the sunflowers are still in flower heading into October.

Small sunflower heads flowering on plants a little over 50 cm tall. Bright yellow petals on show and they are still drawing in the pollinators.

Nearly 2 m tall multiple yellow sunflower heads are reaching into a grey autumnal sky.

A vibrant and large rose, with a buttery yellow center and some wonderful pink-tinged petal edges. The pink looks like it's been applied like a watercolor with faded and darker sections. It sits in a sea of dark green leaves.

A rose that is mostly buttery yellow and perfect, with light pink tinged petal edges on only the outermost petals. It's surrounded by lots of green leaves and sits proudly in the center. Near a wrought iron porch railing.

#BloomScrolling these lovely orange yellow flowers and their tiny berries in a planter in Clayton MO yesterday were a bright spot in a trying day.

Some Spring sights from the last couple of weeks:

* Forget-Me-Nots
* The first leaf of the season on an old climbing rose
* Zantedeschia flower that self-seeded down the drive
* Marigold in the sunshine

#BloomScrolling #MacroPhotography #FlowerPhotography #NaturePhotography #Flowers #Plants #Florespondence

Closeup of the tiny flowers on a Forget-Me-Not. The just-opening ones are pink with yellow centres, the fully-opened ones have blue petals, and the leaves surrounding them are slightly hairy, lime to dark green in colour

A single bright red leaf emerges from a bright red sheath on the stem of an old rose bush.

Looking down on a large white goblet-shaped flower. The single petal curls around a central yellow spathe. The widest part of the petal is dotted with dust left behind by rain drops

A stand of Jerusalem Artichoke in full bloom. Dozens of sunflower blossoms tip 8 to 10 foot tall plants.

Also in the #orchard is an old tree stump, and entwined around it is a honeysuckle. I _think_ it’s a native Lonicera periclymenum but don’t know for sure. Whatever, looks and smells gorgeous early/mid summer.

You can get smaller cultivars of the native Honeysuckle for smaller gardens, something like 'Rhubarb & Custard'. And you smell it before you see it, absolutely gorgeous.

At the back of the house at #Rhug is a fairly steeply sloping lawned area, with four fruit trees. They have suffered in the shade of the mighty conifers behind, so with some judicious removal of lower branches and some quite severe pruning, they have started to blossom again.

I am now trying to create a #WildFlower #meadow on the grass. Not helped by a 7 week drought in spring! 🙄
