Prunus x yedoensis 'Akebono'. A cluster of flowers against an overcast sky. Each flower is single, the petals delicate pink, the pollinia orange. Raindrops on the petals.

Vancouver parks dept suggests this is Prunus avium 'Mazzard', Mazzard cherry, but I'm not quite sure of that. White flowers, single, orange pollinia, fully open, against a white sky. It's a very large, very old tree, with a huge and gnarly trunk.

In a crevice in the gnarly bark of the big Mazzard Cherry, a tiny fairy crouches.

An unfurling leaf of Drosera binata, the Fork-leaved #Sundew, native to southeastern Australia and New Zealand.

A close-up of a carnivorous Fork-leaved Sundew plant with a long, slender stem covered in tiny, glistening drops. The plant is in a pot filled with soil, with a blurred background of other plants and pots.

My current pet peeve is grocery stores shelving couscous in the rice and grains section. It's PASTA! Drives me crazy, and likely results in some people believing that couscous is a small yellow seed that has some sort of health benefit. #couscous #seeds #pasta #grains #food #semolina #flour #groceries #botany

Close-up of a pile of yellow couscous that clearly shows that they are just little crumbles of pasta, not small seeds.

Boxes of couscous surrounded by boxes and bags of rice.

A cracking 9 mile walk from #Portknockie to #Portsoy today, weather much nicer than originally forecast. Lovely views from cliff tops and beaches, with seabirds and spring flowers.

#garden #gardening #flowers #horticulture #photography #bloomscrolling #botany

Narcissus 'Bell Song', Jonquilla and Apodanthus Group, G. E. Mitsch 1971. Two flowers on one stem. The perianth/petals are simple creamy white. The corolla is short, a bit ruffled, pale yellowish ornage at the proximal end and creamy pastel orange at the distal. In the background another flower, some foliage, and a wood fence.

Tulipa 'Akebono', Jn. Haakman an Zn. B.V. 2007. Looking down at the flower just beginning to open. It's a double tulip. The petals are light yellow with reddish veining, the outer ones tending to green. Raindrops cling to the petals. Blurry background of leaves.

Viola adunca, western dog violet or western blue violet. In the foreground one flower, with two petals pointing up like "ears", and two down on either side of the "lip" petal. Most of the flower is a deep purple-violet, with the center being whitish, and the proximal part of the lip being yellow and veined with deep indigo. Raindrops. In the background, blurry leaves and buds.

Portrait of an elegant lady and her daughter, three-quarter-length, drinking hot chocolate by Jean Chevalier.
An 18th century portrait painting depicting a woman and a child sharing a meal. The woman, wearing a rust-colored dress with light blue accents and white powdered hair adorned with small flowers, is seated in an ornate wooden chair. She holds a decorative teacup and saucer. Beside her sits a young child in a blue dress with lace details, also with powdered hair. On the table in front of them are dishes, bread, and what appears to be a tea service. The background features dark green drapery, creating a formal domestic scene typical of aristocratic portraiture of the period.

Iberis sempervirens. In the foreground, an inflorescence, a corymb of white flowers each with two large and two small petals and a dot of yellow stamens. The rest of the image is mostly more of them, and a bit of leafy green. Raindrops.

Hyacinth 'Springfield', V.o.f. Orientalis 2008. Against a blurry BG of leaves, a closeup of a blue hyacinth flower. Several florets at visible, petals of cerulean with darker midrib shading toward indigo. Rain clings to them.

Fritillaria meleagris. Two flowers on the same stalk. Drooping petals, deep maroon-purple with white checkers on them. Raindrops.

Epimedium × versicolor 'Sulphureum', bishop's mitre or barrenwort. Several flowers in focus and many more in the background. Each has for sheltering light yellow sepals opened in a cross, and under them, four reflecex petals protecting the stamens and pistil.
