Four flower photos from a walk around out neighbourhood. Notes in the alt text.

A brace of bright golden yellow goblet-shaped flowers with strong brown striping from the base. We're looking at the outside, from near ground level. In the BG more flowers.
Crocus 'Golden Yellow'. Pacific Bulb Society says this is syn C. 'Dutch Yellow' and C. 'Yellow Mammoth', as a cross of C. flavus and C. angustifolius. The KAVB database lists it as a species selection, C. flavus ssp flavus 'Golden Yellow', with no origin or date.

Looking up from below at a round cluseter of yellow flowers. Each is a long white tube covered in silky white hairs, and opens at the end in golden four-petalled blooms with a distinct group of four stamens. What you can't see it the scent, a rich and string floral type perfume. In the BG, sky and cloud.
Edgeworthia chrysantha.

A cluster of pale blue flowers with defined blue streaks and reticulation, strong patches of yellow on the fall, and an ambiguous greenish halo around it. Soil and leaves in the BG.
Iris 'Katharine Hodgkin' (E.B. Anderson, 1958). Reportedly Iris winogradowii × Iris histrioides.

On a deep blue sky, several branches with scattered magenta-pink flowers. The branches are otherwise bare.
The first sakura to bloom for us every year, mislabelled Prunus sargentii but more closely resembling Prunus campanulata or one of its hybrids like P. ‘Okame’.

'Gag orders' on shot-hole borer infected trees should be abolished, say mayors
By Grace Burmas

The fight against shot-hole-borer is being hampered by the use of NDAs hiding the location of infected trees, two Perth mayors say.

In the foreground, a finely divided fern frond. In the background, in focus, a smooth rock with a a clear shadow of the fern. Very evocative of our local forests.

This dhalia is really pretty. The dark leaves in contrast to the colorful blossoms really is an eye catcher.

Just another bumble bee queen nourishing herself from the nectar of a blossom. If you look close enough, you can see her trunk going right into that tasty blossom.

It's one of these moments as a plant and bumble bee enthusiast, that gives a very joyful experience.

"The cutting of fruit trees is also happening in the Devoll region, where farmers are giving up on orchards due to lack of market access, unfair competition, and most importantly, the overwhelming presence of imported products." #Horticulture #FruitToot #Albania

"Zvirinë village, in the Maliq municipality, has long been known for apple production. The Nurka family, engaged in apple farming for 3 generations, has now made a drastic decision—to cut down all their trees after failing to sell their produce for the past 3 to 4 years.

The apple trees being uprooted were planted in recent years. The family invested everything they earned from working abroad into this land..."

The somewhat surprising flower of #Asarum canadense, Canadian wild ginger. It grows on the ground, usually hidden under leaves, and is pollinated by beetles.

Whenever I get a chance to see another Rosaceae family plant's buds emerging, I take a look to compare it to how almond emerges.

This is Rubus idaeus (raspberry). #Botany #PlantMorphology #Leaves #Horticulture @plantscience

Photo taken through a 10x magnification loupe of a raspberry's leaves emerging on March 1, 2025. It's still tightly furled, but the bud scales are layered, holding up the emerging leaves. It shows a developmental progression from a shield-like scale with notches at the top showing fused stipules to more compound leaves of green that will emerge in a few days.

Today it's the beginning of meteorological spring!

2025 will be a great year of happy plant parenting.

What are your plans for this season? Are you already hyped for many beautiful moments with your leafy friends?

Flowering #Hepatica nobilis var. acuta (Sharp-leafed Hepatica) and emerging #Podophyllum peltatum (May-apples), #HighPark, #Toronto (Huron, Iroquois, Ojibwe), Ontario, Canada. April 2004.
#garden #gardening #flowers #horticulture #photography #bloomscrolling #botany

Colour photo. A forest floor littered with spruce needles, twigs and other cones. Flowering stems of the Hepatica rise from a clump of emerging leaves. The flowers are single or have one row of doubling, simple white petals, with three triangular leaves behind each. Behind the hepatica are several emergent stems of Mayapple that look a bit like an unopened beach umbrella or mushroom. The leaves are glossy, still furled, and deep green and dark coppery red-brown. Each pair of leaves is on its own stem rising from a pair of bud leaves at ground level.

One of the leaves of my Drosera capensis, a carnivorous plant that has helped control the gnat population in my indoor garden. Saw it catching the sun and figured it deserved a photo!
