A close-up shot captures two delicate wildflowers nestled amongst vibrant green foliage on the forest floor near Dessau-Roßlau. On the left, a Common Blue Violet (Viola odorata or a closely related species) displays five velvety, deep purple petals with darker purple veins radiating from its white centre. Its stem gently curves, supporting the downward-facing bloom. To the right, a Wood Anemone (Anemone nemorosa) presents a solitary, nodding white flower with five petal-like sepals surrounding a cluster of bright yellow stamens in the centre. The backdrop is a soft blur of more green leaves and hints of brown from fallen leaves and twigs, typical of a woodland setting in Saxony-Anhalt. Another out-of-focus blue violet is visible in the upper right corner. The lighting is soft and diffused, highlighting the subtle textures of the petals and leaves.

#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.

A linocut birthday present for my mum. She was asking the other day if I could do violets, so I thought I’d give it a go. There are lots in the garden at the moment, making it a great time to do studies.

Monochrome linocut in black ink and portrait format of three violet flowers and a group of leaves. The flowers are arranged in increasingly scale left from mid-left to top right.

Die ersten Blüten sind im Berggarten aufgetaucht. Habe noch nicht per App gecheckt, aber ich vermute, es sind Waldveilchen.

Kleines, bodennahes Büschel aus kelchförmigen lila Blüten. Innen weiß und ein paar dunkel-lila Streifen und weiße Staubblätter.

It was Kengo's spa day. He got all clean, nails ground, teeth brushed, and got a teal bandana.
The forecast storm is still away, but wind has picked up. We're staying home today, and it's supposed to be clear by sunrise tomorrow, then we'll go out.
