Waxy white beauty berries (Callicarpa species) ripening on a slender branch. Nature hedges her bets, not allowing all the seeds in the berries to ripen at once. Where one seed may fail, a later one may succeed. Photograph by Betty Mackey.
I love this photo. This photo was published in the Digital Photographer magazine! (Spring, 2009) It was also on display at Wassenburg Art Center in Van Wert, Ohio from October 5 – 31, 2008. This was taken in the early Spring. This is a pear blossom tree flower. Shutter Speed 1/800 / F6.3 / ISO 200 / Focal Length 200m / Nikon D80 Favorites 114 times!

We’re having hugely warm weather and the garden is exploding :-) !! / Happy Days. / Yesterday, when I went in for the day, / these were closed buds. / Today, they opened for the first time / and appear to be fully grown. / They’re bloomin’ gorgeous! / ooooops, sorry / buddy /
This is it’s first day. Transition from but to blossom. It hasn’t even open fully yet. /

This is a small “slice” of my mother’s garden; she is a master gardener. Anything she plants thrives beautifully, and my father is just as good as she is. He saves watermelon and tomato seeds when he eats at restaurants, dries them, plants them, and harvests a good crop later on. What a wonder my parents are; truly their hearts are in the garden.

And the glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley, shall be a fading flower, and as the hasty fruit before the summer; which when he that looketh upon it seeth, while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up ( Isaiah 28:4). A poppy of delight taken from my garden this morning on 12-17-08 – taken in Northern California. / Canon Powershot A590 IS / Completely untouched and wow! I’m in awe myself that something like this would come out of camera of such caliber.
This is the floral clock in Kings Park, which is located in Perth Western Australia. / I took this some time ago on my last trip. / Notice that most of the plants are Australian Native’s… ======================

A whimsical style drawing that I made while feeling a bit “unordinary.” I was told that it had a “Aboriginal” quality to it! I just know that I like it!

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. /
