RE: Flowers in the park. Time for another photography walk.

in #life6 years ago

Hi @waggy6 This is a wonderful post.

First photography: Species Campanula latifolia, is a large, leafy perennial with tubular bell-shaped flowers in shades of blue, lilac or white in summer. The leaves are nettle-shaped, but not hairy, larger at the bottom of the stem and becoming smaller towards the top. The stem is unbranched, and the flowers are in the axils of the upper leaves. Flowers are usually in shades of blue, but a white version is also available. Plants grow best in a partly-shaded position with plenty of moisture at the roots, although even in dry soils they form strong clumps.

Second photography: Species Conium maculatum, is a herbaceous biennial flowering plant that grows to 1.5–2.5 m (5–8 ft) tall, with a smooth, green, hollow stem, usually spotted or streaked with red or purple on the lower half of the stem. All parts of the plant are hairless (glabrous); the leaves are two- to four-pinnate, finely divided and lacy, overall triangular in shape, up to 50 cm (20 in) long and 40 cm (16 in) broad. It has been introduced and naturalised in many other areas, including Asia, North America, Australia, and New Zealand. It is often found on poorly drained soils, particularly near streams, ditches, and other surfaces water. It also appears on roadsides, edges of cultivated fields, and waste areas. It is considered an invasive species in 12 U.S. states.

Fourth photography: Species Tithonia diversifolia, is a robust annual or perennial herbaceous and bushy plant with a woodybase, growing up to 3 m tall. The stems are cylindrical, hollow, slightly ridged and hairy when young. The leaves, borne on stalks, are simple, alternate, and finely hairy; they have a tapered base and 3-7 pointed lobes with scalloped or toothed margins. The flower-heads look like sunflowers but have yellow centers. They are borne on long stalks, velvety beneath the heads, and are arranged in small groups at the ends of the branches. The fruit is a blackish hairy achene topped with a ring of scales and two awns.

Sixth photography: Marguerites are of the Argyranthemum Species. Marguerites have green, woody stems and typically produce dainty white flowers, though pink and yellow varieties also exist. The plants are usually around 60cm tall, although they can grow up to a metre in height if planted in suitable conditions.

I'm wishing you success and growth, and happiness.
Have a nice night
A hug
