Flowering Rosemary
Image by kpwerker
Spying this out the kitchen window this morning made me go grab my camera. I think I’ve created a monster.
Also, I don’t think I’ve ever noticed this rosemary flowering. Anyone know if this means the yummy leaves will turn not-so-yummy now?

Flowers

A flower, sometimes known as a bloom or blossom, is the reproductive structure found in flowering plants (plants of the division Magnoliophyta, also called angiosperms). The biological function of a flower is to mediate the union of male sperm with female ovum in order to produce seeds. The process begins with pollination, is followed by fertilization, leading to the formation and dispersal of the seeds. For the higher plants, seeds are the next generation, and serve as the primary means by which individuals of a species are dispersed across the landscape. The grouping of flowers on a plant are called the inflorescence.
In addition to serving as the reproductive organs of flowering plants, flowers have long been admired and used by humans, mainly to beautify their environment but also as a source of food.

The pink flowers on the trellis are for the most part just resting in the green leaf pieces… there’s not a very tight fit there.
The walls all curve using 1×2 bricks, much like my old "Curvy!" building. I will be making a round roof to go on this building as well.
Blackberry flowers
Image by Martin LaBar
Just some blackberry (Rubus) flowers, taken in May of this year, alongside a road in our town. Blackberries are members of the Rose family, and, as such, their flower parts are in multiples of five, and their petals are not attached to each other, which means that they can fall off one at a time.
In our area, blackberries are characteristic of secondary ecological succession. That is, a lawn or field left to itself usually begins to grow blackberry plants in a few years. The plants grow up to 2 or 3 meters/yards in height. The flowers are perhaps an inch/3 cm across.
Note that there are a couple of flower buds. The white color is lovely, but the almost-opened buds are a lovely pink.
Blackberry fruit are edible. Here’s a photo of some ripe blackberry fruit (they were good to eat!).
Those are blackberry leaves in the background on the left. Here’s one of our most beautiful photos, showing a blackberry leaf in fall color, along the Blue Ridge Parkway, with mountains in the background.
More detail visible at the larger sizes.

Looking more like an Alpine scene than an Irish one, these are some daisy flowers in the beautiful field near our house in Co Galway, Ireland. According to Wikipedia: "A wildflower (or wild flower) is a flower that grows wild, meaning it was not intentionally seeded or planted." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildflower

burgundy yarrow flower buds
Image by Martin LaBar
Yarrow is a plant, growing about half a yard/meter tall, that is used as an ornamental. This is a shot of a plant in my wife’s flower garden. It’s not a spectacular shot, by any means, but I like the buds.

The very pretty dok rak. Dok means flower and rak means love – so the name is literally love flower.
