Einzig die Küchenschelle mit ihren Wärmeansprüchen fühlt sich im Garten wohler als in anderen Jahren. Der Rest ist Dürre.

A memory that convinces me that this is the most beautiful of all seasons: flowers opening up, vivid colors abound, brisk breezes, and an ever-warmer sun shining upon a world coming to life. My capture of this vibe, "A Burst of Spring".

Autumn Crocus, 18th-19th c.(not a true crocus), also known as Meadow Saffron (Colchicum autumnale). All parts of the Autumn Crocus are highly poisonous due to the presence of colchicine. #illustrartion #biology #gardeing #nature #art #flowers #botany

今日の出先帰り: 柳馬場通からブルーベリー

I've finally managed to photograph my first orchid. As I was walking in the woods, daydreaming as usual, little bright pink dots caught my attention. There were five fairy slipper (Calypso bulbosa) growing on a bed of moss ready to be photographed. This is the first time that I see orchids in a forest. (Vertical photo: open to see in full).

Trillium by the thousands today in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park. The weather was warm enough for snakes to be out along the trails.

How I wish you could smell the wonderful fragrance from these clove currant blossoms.

Hiked along the slope of the Eastern Mountains of Kyōto (東山), first up to the little-known Himukai Daijingū (日向大神宮), a little Shintō shrine whose grandiose name borrows from the ancient and most-revered Ise Jingū after which its architecture is modeled. Then to the iconic Zen Buddhist temple Nanzenji (南禅寺), and along Philosophy Road (哲学の道) to the Silver Pavilion Ginkakuji (銀閣寺). Then as now there was a shortage of silver, even to the Ashikaga Shōguns, so the pavilion was never gilded, but with its similarlity to the Golden Pavilion Kinkakuji and topped by a phoenix, it is nevertheless charming. Sakura cherry blossoms at their best all along the way, with other spring flowers like magnolia and early-blossoming purple azaleas, made for a long and aesthetically pleasing hike.

The lilac is blooming. #flowers #BloomScrolling

And just like that there are so many #flowers flourishing out in #nature it’s again hard to choose which one(s) to contribute to #BloomScrolling.

Passed by these pretty blooms while walking.

#Flowers photographed out in #nature yesterday for #BloomScrolling but forgot to share.

#Humpday is a copy of yesterday with a lot of sunshine and dry cool air, which highlighted the sky, maple tree (as leaves are changing to green from red), airplanes, and our first rose of the season.
