Blossom’s_Photo_Gallery Isopogon anethifolius Isopogon – from the Greek, isos, equal, and pogon, a beard, referring to the hairs that evenly cover the fruit; / anethifolius – from Anethum, a plant of the flannel flower family, and folium, a leaf (i.e. with leaves like Anethum) Isopogon anethifolius occurs in the coastal region and Blue Mountains of New South Wales and is one of about six eastern Isopogon species. The common name of Drumsticks alludes to the large knob-like fruits which are a feature of the bush. The bright yellow flowers are crowded in globular heads at the ends of branches in late spring and throughout the summer months. The fruit, of about 2.5 cm in diameter, persists on the plant for a considerable length of time. It is attractive, both on the plant and in floral decorations.

Propagation of Telopea species: Telopea can be grown from cuttings but the more usual way is from seed (although selected varieties and cultivars must be propagated from cuttings if they are to remain true to form). Fresh seed has a high viability and germinates in 2-3 weeks after sowing. Plants should be potted up as soon as they are large enough to handle and grown in a sheltered position. When selecting a plant for planting into the garden ensure that it is at least 15 cms tall. Plants of this size should have a noticeable swelling at the base of the stem where it enters the soil. This ‘swollen’ tissue is a lignotuber and it contains numerous dormant buds. When established in the ground old canes can be cut right back to the lignotuber which will promptly sprout new stems. This is an evolutionary adaptation to some of the extremes of the Telopea environment (particularly bushfire) which ensures the plant’s survival. This photo was taken at Leura in the Blue Mountains of NSW.

Springtime brings its beautiful show of cherry blossoms every year. I always look forward to it. With this tree, I found a great vantage point to enjoy the blooms. I’m a lover of texture, so I had to get a mix of that rough bark with the fluffy blossoms in the shot. Looking through the lens, I really enjoyed the tinted sky peeking through the foliage. The almost-aqua blue is there sparingly – just enough to set off the other colours in places. Photo taken in Delta, British Columbia (Canada) with a Canon PowerShot A1000 IS camera. Featured in RedBubble’s “Blooming Trees” group on June 26, 2009. ABOVE: Shown with a Flat Frame in Charcoal and Matte in Bright White (Medium size). BELOW: Shown as a Greeting Card.

There is a saying in Alaska ~ “when life hands you lemons, make lemonade, yet, when Alaska hands you Fireweed, make Fireweed Jelly…. or Fireweed Honey…. or Fireweed Ice Cream… The beautiful wildflower Fireweed in Alaska is nature’s seasonal weather gauge. In Autumn, when the foliage turns a deep scarlet red and the Fireweed tops out and blows seed, first snow is only weeks away. It is perhaps one of the most well known and most photographed of Alaska wildflowers. There are many things including a lodge named after it. Fireweed blooms from the bottom petals up. The flower petals of Fireweed may be tossed into your delicious fresh salads, bottled in vinegar and used in dressings, and included as well in many wonderful baked goods. “Fireweed” is the common name for the perennial plant Epilobium angustifolium.
