“Summer Fragrance” Photography & Artwork / by Holly Kempe © A gardenia bud beginning to bloom. “Oh! To be a flower nodding in the sun, / Bending, then upspringing as the breezes run; / Holding up a scent-brimmed cup, / Full of summer’s fragrance to the summer sun.” / ~ Amy Lowell

The fragrance of this delicate, soft yellow blossom is delicious, definitely reminiscent of bananas. I recall when I was a high school senior, my French teacher always brought handsful of these flowers to class and their perfume filled the air with the promise of summer and a break from the books.

On Sunday, Charlie and I were walking gazing at the splendor of the flowers that lined a street in Benedict Canyon, Los Angeles. I was mesmerized by the beauty and variety of color, texture, type and fragrance of these magnificent blooms. Charlie was not only an observer, but choose a beautiful bouquet of flowers to give to me as a gift. There are so many wonderful things in nature to share that can not be bought since they can only come from the heart. “Flowers leave some of their fragrance in the hand that bestows them.” / Chinese Proverb /

Was just looking back at some photos of home tonight and thought I would add this one. These miniature roses were part of my mom’s 80th birthday last year…she’ll be 81 in September. And it’s amazing, she had open heart surgery 2 weeks before her birthday and you’d never know it today! / /

Flower macros constitute this calendar for 2009. I tried to match flowers with months in which they grow here in Louisiana; I am not 100% accurate but I tried. Camellias in January; amaryllis in February; iris in March; calla lilies in April; bottlebrush in May; roses in June; the splendor of the entire garden in July; wild grass seed blossoming in August; lily of the Nile in September; tiger lily in October; chrysanthemum in November; magnolia in December. (I know magnolias do not bloom in December but it looked like a Christmas candle so I chose it for that month). Hope you enjoy the view. (This is the second of my Petal Power calendars. See the other one as well if you have time).

I send thee this sweet perfume a fragrance to the fragrant, as one would offer wine to the god of wine The significance of bindi in Hinduism Bindis are dots traditionally worn by women in India to decorate their faces. Bindi is arguably the most visually fascinating in all form of body decoration. Hindus wear a tilak (a red dot by women and an elongated dot by men) on their foreheads, between the two eyes. This point is known by various names such as Ajna chakra, Spiritual eye, Third eye and was said to be the major nerve in the human body, in ancient times. Bindis worn by women is also the reminder of their wedding vows, because a bindi is worn by Hindu married women to symbolize their marriage. Myth is that it protects them from the bad eye of people.

At my favorite nursery today this rose took my breath away, not only for its beauty, but for its delicious fragrance. Naturally, I couldn’t just leave it there, so now it helps brighten up the front of our home between a couple of hydrangeas.

Clematis from the Greek (klema) for branchlet. / There are over 400 wild varieties of native clematis, in fact most countries in the temperate regions of the northern hemisphere and to some extent in the southern hemisphere have species of clematis. For example, C. alpina is found in eastern Europe and C. cirrhosa in Mediterranean countries, C. vitalba in Britain, C. montana in India, C. lanuginosa in China, C. patens in Japan, C. aristata in Australia, C. afoliata in New Zealand and C. virginiana in America / Early plant collectors brought examples back to europe, which were soon to enrich it’s flora. One of the first to be introduced to England was C. viticella, which was brought from Spain in 1569. This was followed in 1596 by three other European species, C. cirrhosa, C. integrifolia and C. flammula. They were all used in hybridising programmes to produce new varieties. It was not until the 19th century that the stock for the large flowered clematis, which is so admired today was introduced from China, C. lanuginosa for example and C. patens from Japan. The Victorians took to clematis in a big way and the pioneering nursery of Jackmans once held a list of 343. Unfortunately the then little understood disease wilt, decimated the commercial stocks and it was not until after the second world war that nurseries were once more able to pursue serious large scale propagation. However the legacy of the Victorians does live on, many of the popular large flowered clematis available today come from the last century. /
