I love #Banksia flowers: there's something about them that speaks to me. They're also very tactile.

Here's a Banksia for your #Bloomscrolling pleasure: B.Spinulosa X Ericafolia "Bird Song" which is planted outside my bedroom.

PS describing Banksias in Alt Text is tricky: any feedback would be appreciated

Eight years ago we were in Europe and our travel plans got upended. As a result we had an unplanned stay in Amsterdam and got to visit the Keukenhof Gardens on the last day they were open for that year. We knew nothing about them but it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip.

As a freeloader watching all the posts, I thought I should do my bit by posting some of the tulip photos I took during that visit.

How is everyone this evening on this totally free platform where no one is trying to sell you anything? 😃

Had to block some folks for the first time on here. I guess that's just maintenance, like turning the soil. Enjoy the fuchsia petunia 😁

KimberlyN,

@noondlyt

Realized recently that I’ve only blocked 7 accounts in the 7 months I’ve been here. Most of those were also blocked by my instance for bad behavior. It’s nice to feel empowered to keep my timeline stress free here on Mastodon.

Here’s my contribution to tonight’s #Bloomscrolling — pink gaura from my front garden.

The sunflower patch has a few different varieties, thanks to the birds it’s a surprise when they flower. #BloomScrolling #Summer #Gardening #Flowers

tippitiwichet, to Mushrooms

My pink oyster mushrooms. These are the same jar, but a few days apart, the pink fades as it ages. Also the same one that was releasing spores in my video. A single jar has so many changing landscapes to explore. Landscapes that kind of feel like they were designed by Georgia O'Keeffe.

#fungi #mushrooms #nature #flowers (okay, "fruiting bodies") #bloomScrolling

A macro of the folded ridges on the underside, where they meet the stem. They radiate out in ribbon like waves, lit from above so they glow where their shadows should be.
Younger caps, from the side, trumpet like and delicate, with more of the pink in the name. Lit from above, the gill-like ridges glow like candlelight, inviting against the dark background.
Pinkish, petal like folds, darker at the edges and lighter toward the center. I've had roses that looked like this.

Only just learning about the bloomscrolling hashtag - what a beautiful thing! Here is my contribution.

I’m so proud of my flowers and shrubs this year! I don’t have a green thumb and usually psych myself out from even attempting to grow anything, but I’m really trying this year. These pics are of established plants that came with the house, so I just need to let them do their thing and focus on not accidentally killing them. This year, for the 1st time, I actually tried pruning them. Seems to have helped! The rose bush is the fullest it’s ever been. 🌹❤️

#Bloomscrolling #Roses #Hydrangeas #Garden

A hydrangea bush, with large green leaves. The flowers have not bloomed yet, but clusters of green buds are visible. It has recently rained, and there are water droplets on the leaves. In the background is another bush with small pink blossoms, not a hydrangea bush.
I don’t know what kind of bush this is. It is a flowering bush with light yellow-green leaves and soft pink flowers.
Another very similar mystery bush. It is a flowering bush with dark green leaves and soft purple flowers. It has recently rained, and there are water droplets on the leaves and petals.

These are Colorado wildflowers I am trying to grow myself for the 1st time this year (also, ever). They are covered up with netting to perfect them from an impending hail storm so the view isn’t great. Only pics so far of the ones that seem to be succeeding, but crossing my fingers that the others pull through too (looking at you, black eyed susans!)

#Bloomscrolling #Roses #Hydrangeas #Garden

A branch of Red Valerian, looking like a burst of pink blooms on a very spindly stem. They’ve already bloomed once this summer, and this serving bloom seems less spectacular, but it’s still alive, so yay!
Scarlet penstemon (I think?) in the foreground, with Daylily and purple coneflower in the background. The penstemon has narrow orange-pink blossoms atop it tall spindly stems. They are supported a bit with green wire frames.
A purple coneflower! It has short pinkish petals around a dark brown center, blooming atop one very long stem. I thought there would be multiple flowers, but so far just this one diva. I’ll take it though!

And finally, my daylily (and one more close up pic of the purple coneflower, because I’m very excited about that one!). Despite the bent leaves and brown/yellow spots, I have discovered a bud! Go, daylily, go!

A closeup of the daylily, in which can be seen a small green bud!
Close up of the purple coneflower, showing details in the center of the bloom. Short brown spikes are surrounded by paper pink petals.

dahlias update

#bloomscrolling #florespondence

A stunning dahlia with red/yellow petals. They are yellow on the edges and red in the center, with some blending to orange in between.
3 dahlias: one just starting to open, one midway open, and one fully open. I've shown off the fully open one previously, it's got many purple petals that fade to white at the tips. Despite being on the same plant, the one that is midway open is a deep purple with no white coloration at all. The dahlia just starting to bloom looks like it will be lighter in color.

From an afternoon picnic at a local lavender farm

#Bloomscrolling #lavender #medicinalHerbs #medicinalPlants #coloradoPhotographer

Image shows a row of blooming dark purple lavender next to another lighter variety. The lavender farm shown in the image grows over 20 varieties of this drought tolerant perennial plant. There is a tree in the background that is blurred and the rest of the landscape recedes into the distance as the edge of the farm slopes off into a valley.
Closeup of a culinary variety of lavender. Each flower spike is stiffly upright. The background is a blurry bokeh of some lighter colored cultivars which offers a nice contrast to the darker blue/purple buds in the foreground.
The rows of lavender alternate between different varieties with the darker, culinary variety in the foreground. The plants are trimmed back each year into gently rounded mounds to achieve this nice shape that also makes harvesting the blooms easier. The blooms are hand harvested at peak oil content with a sickle.

What are y'all's favorite hashtags to follow on here? I enjoy cute animals, landscape photography, and science writing. Would love some recommendations as I get settled in.
