Sitting in front of the computer / I looked out of the window / It was a shimmering day / The storm clouds had lifted / The sun was painting the flowers / With light / I took the camera outside / And then I saw her - / Swaying gently in the breeze / She was dancing in the light.

Blossom’s_Photo_Gallery Christmas Bells Christmas Bell (Blandfordia grandiflora) Blandfordia...After the Marquis of Blandford / grandiflora....large flowered Found in coastal areas of central and northern New South Wales and south-east Queensland. Blandfordia is a small genus of 4 species all confined to south-eastern Australia. They are slow-growing, grass-like plants with narrow leaves and bell-shaped flowers produced on stems arising from the centre of the clump. All are commonly known as “Christmas bells” as they generally flower in December-January. B.grandiflora is the most robust of the 4 species. It is usually found in wet coastal heaths on sandy soils. The tubular flowers occur in groups of 6 or more on stems about 30-60 cm long. The flowers are quite large being up to 50 mm long and flared towards to tip. Typically the flowers are red with a yellow tip but forms with all yellow flowers are also known. The flowers contain nectar and a frequented by honey eating birds. After flowering, seeds are produced in papery pods. The seeds ripen about 3 months after flowering. This is a popular plant in cultivation although it is very slow growing and easily “swamped” by more vigourous plants. It requires moist, well drained soils preferably of a light texture such as sandy loam. It appreciates some protection from full sun but should not be grown in heavy shade. It is tolerant of at least moderate frosts. It is very suitable for growing in pots.

THE SUBJECT: / A very good display of Blandfordia grandiflora (Christmas Bells). THE LOCATION: / Photographed in the wild in an open paddock along Boundary Street, Port Macquarie , NSW, Australia, on a hot, overcast summer day. THE MAKING OF ‘Blandfordia grandiflora (Christmas Bells)’: / Usually photographing these flowers can be difficult because of the proximity and very messy background but these were sitting up high on a long stem and the background was far enough away for a wide aperture to knock out the background. / Fuji S9600: RAW, Macro, f/3.6 @ 1/950sec, ISO80, Tripod, Timer. / S7RAW & Photoshop CS.

In Bloom Now along the MS Gulf Coast…stop and smell the amazing aroma :) / Southern magnolia is an aristocrat of trees. It grows as a native throughout the lower South, is widely adaptable to a variety of soils, and has few pest problems. With glossy evergreen foliage and large white fragrant blossoms in spring, it truly is one of the most handsome and durable native trees for Southern landscapes.

Thanks to Dennis Gay for providing correct identification of this plant. This well known indigenous large wild iris is commonly grown in gardens and used in large landscapes throughout the country. It is a perennial, evergreen plant which grows up to 1.5m in large clumps. It grows naturally along the eastern coastal areas of the southern Cape, Eastern Cape and southern Kwazulu-Natal where it may be found in full sun or partial shade at forest margins, or in the shelter of taller shrubs on exposed slopes facing the sea. / The name Dietes means “having two relatives” and refers to the relationship between this genus and Moraea and Iris. Grandiflora means “large flower”. / Dietes grandiflora plants grow from underground rhizomes. The long, rigid, sword-shaped leaves are held in a fan shape. The leaves are dark green and may reach up to 1m long and 15-20mm wide. / The attractive flowers are large (about 100mm across) and are white with yellow nectar guides and outer tepals and violet central segments. The flowers are held on erect, slender stems which are about 1m in length. / The flowers are borne in mass at certain periods – often after rain in summer. The individual flowers do not last more than a couple of days (so are of no use in a vase) however, the plant bears so many flowers during the peak period that the plant looks most striking. The flowers attract lots of bees and other pollinators. / This plant is occasionally called the “Fairy Iris” because the fragile white petals not only look like fairy wings, but also have a tendency to disappear mysteriously overnight! / The large wild iris fruit is a large capsule up to 45mm which is held erect and splits open to release shiny, dark brown seeds.

Our native magnolias (Magnolia grandiflora) have large, pure white flowers, and when they reach full open, to me, they look like angels. Pictured here is a tree in Bayou George, FL. My squirrels pluck off the fat buds so I had to visit my neighbor to get a shot of an angel. The fragrance is quite heavenly, too. To me they smell of white cake and vanilla frosting. A very sugary aroma.
