No worries... There are enough flowers and topics to go around, I should think. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Impatiens are another delightful flower which comes in various forms and colors. This is a double petal bloom, almost like a miniature rose. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Here is a more familiar 'regular' shaped bloom. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!

I like the details in this picture, the evidence of other lifeforms in the ecosystem by the minor damages to the leaves etc. [video=youtube_share;MgNxopvE3ro]http://youtu.be/MgNxopvE3ro[/video]

And Nuphar - Don't you live in the Great White North or some such place? Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Nuphar is genus of aquatic plants in the family Nymphaeaceae, with a temperate to subarctic Northern Hemisphere distribution. Common names include water-lily (Eurasian species; shared with many other genera in the same family), pond-lily, and spatterdock (North American species). (Don't mind the little pollinating person -the other lifeforms in the ecosystem- she has a job to do)
I think I will add to our 'N' flower collection before I trundle off to sleep. Nigella is quite a fascinating specimen, in my opinion. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Ozothamnus can be evergreen shrubs or perennials, with small, slightly aromatic, linear leaves and tiny white flower-heads which may be solitary or in showy terminal corymbs Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Why do I always choose the little white ones? Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!

Queen Anne's Lace is considered to be a weed by many, and in a picture like this first, she looks it. However Queen Anne's has always been a favorite of mine. They have a rank yet sweet smell to which allergy sufferers must react violently, but I consider their scent the very essence of high summer - the smell of freedom from school!

If they don't have these where you live, why then, you ought to move! Bless my homeland forever!
I have grown Schizanthus from seed and it does quite well as a potted annual here in the Yukon. The flowers are colorful and profuse which demonstrates why it is commonly called 'Butterfly Bush'. The following photo is not one of mine. I could only wish, lol...Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Tritonia (Flame Freesia) is a genus of flowering plants in the iris family with some 28 species. They are naturally distributed mainly in South Africa, and are closely related to the genus Ixia. They are small bulbous plants up to 8 cm, that appear in great numbers in spring. The leaves are fan-shaped. The flowers are shades of yellow, orange or brown, sweet-smelling, and gives off a very strong fragrance, especially at night. They are not grazed. They occur in Bushmanland, the Great Escarpment, the northern, Upper and Great Karoo along ridges and hillsides. The genus name is derived from the Latin word triton, meaning "weathervane", and alludes to the apparently random arrangement of the stamens in some species.

Well add to my 'no such thing as' list which includes fish, trees, vegetables and UFOs - weeds. One man's weed is another man's salad ingredient. A weed is so called of any plant growing where it is unwanted. A rose bush is a weed in a tomato garden, and a tomato plant is a weed in a rose garden, innit?
Wow... Lately, most posts just haven't had any "depth", that actually did... Thank you for that. So tired of hateful posts... Yes, as of late, have made many of my own. People, please try to play nice, this is only a site on the Internet... I wish everyone here the best... Even Syne. Yeah, you go against everything I believe in, but, I respect your right to your opinion.
