A globular inflorescence of tiny flowers in shades of light and dark pink, surrounded by dark green, leathery, broadly elliptical leaves that are folded at the midrib.

In this photo, bokeh plays the leading role. I really like bokeh, also because it is always a surprise how it works out. Maybe there is actually too little sharpness in this photo for the beauty, but I personally think that those vague yellow balls give the photo something sunny and cheerful. #flowers #flower #bloomscrolling #nature #natura #natur #wildflowers #photo #bokeh #bokehlicious #bokehphotography #foto

A green meadow full of yellow buttercups. Iinks in the middle 1 buttercup sharp, all others vague. Sometimes vague flowers, sometimes just balls, a green vague background full. Lots of sunny cheerfulness to be a little happy about.

Here's another shot of that lovely liverwort from yesterday (previous post). I took this with my 200-500mm wildlife lens. Gonna try to get back to #ClearCreekTrail with the macro lens so I can get closer/better detail.

Photograph of three liverwort plant (Anemone hepatica) blooms atop long stems that emerge from the detritus next to a tree trunk that is covered in patches of green moss. The species has brown-purple, lobed leaves that, in this case, are nit visible. Its flowers top long, purple, hairy stems and are composed of purple-green sepals that support six pale purple to white petals that radiate from a center with white stamens and anthers and a green pistil.

Popping in from hiatus to post this beauty. This is liverwort (Anemone hepatica) & it's one of my absolute favorites. I look for it in early #spring on #ClearCreekTrail. Usually find 1-2 plants but this yr found a whole patch.

Photograph of a liverwort plant (Anemone hepatica) with seven open or partially opened blooms atop long stems emerging from amid last year's fallen leaves. The species has brown-purple, lobed leaves that, in this case, are covered by fallen leaves. Its flowers top long, purple, hairy stems and are composed of purple-green sepals that support six pale purple to white petals that radiate from a center with white stamens and anthers and a green pistil.

28/03/2025 - I'm probably posting too many photos from my walk today but this one makes me happy, maybe you too

Wonderful white blackthorn flowers with yellow gorse behind, just magic.

Claytonia sarmentose, also called spring beauty, is one of the early wildflowers I start looking for each year. The curled stigma is one of its most distinctive features.

More photos and ID details in the wildflower guide: lwpetersen.com/alaska-wildflowers/spring-beauty-claytonia-sarmentosa

Close-up of a Claytonia sarmentosa flower, also known as Alaska spring beauty. The flower has five light pink to lavender petals with darker purple veins radiating from the center. A small yellow ring encircles the white, curled stigma at the flower’s center. Green leaves are softly blurred in the background.

The tightly curled stamens of a Bottlebrush (Callistemon) just starting to burst from their buds

Numerous tightly-packed buds of thin, bright-red filaments wrapped together. Each bud is spaced evenly around a central stem, and wrapped in soft, slightly hairy green calyxes. The buds on each side of the cluster are further advanced, and we can see the filaments uncurling like an octopuses tentacles

Along with some early spring wildflowers on the trail.

A trio of pasque flowers in bloom low to the pine-needle covered ground near a hiking trail. Each flower has six whitish-lavender petals and a fuzzy yellow center.

A cluster of blooming, yellow oregon grape flowers in the center of a plant stem lined with green, sawtoothed, holly-like leaves, growing close to the ground covered in dried, brown pine needles.

A group of tiny, pinkish-purple spring beauty flowers — some in bloom and some still unopened buds, each flower with five petals, growing near the ground among dried pine needles and scattered, dried pine cones.

A side view of more pasque flowers, one flower in full bloom, its whitish-lavender petals and bright yellow center open toward the sky, with several other fuzzy-edged flowers that have yet to open nearby, all growing in a cluster near the ground covered in dried pine needles.

Saponaria officinalis blooms in the Netherlands in the summer and is quite common there in the wild, including on our golf course. There they bloom in large groups. I photographed them after a fresh rain shower. Always fun to do, because of the many raindrops. Moreover, I think it is a beautiful flower. Also for a garden. In the Netherlands the plant is called "Zeepkruid (Soapwort)". It smells nice, both during the day and at night. #wildflowers #wildflower #garden #nature #bloomscrolling #photo #photos #flowers #flower #fleurs #blumen #bloemen

These are the pink flowers of the Saponaria officinalis. In the photo a small piece of stem (horizontal, coming from the left in the middle) with in the middle and right of the photo a bunch of 15 small pink flowers and about 10 still in bud. The sepals of the flowers are rolled up into a tube of one centimeter, from which the light pink petals protrude (5 petals per flower). It has rained. Some flowers are a bit wilted by the rainfall, but others have already recovered. Lots of raindrops lie on the leaves. The background is vague and darkgreen in which various different types of leaves still can be recognized.

Went on several hikes over the weekend, first one to find wildflowers, the second to take local people to a nearby wilderness area. Lots of wildflowers on both. Flowers below are two of my early spring favorites, bloodroot and bluebells. Yay it's finally spring!! #Hiking #Wildflowers

Flower with 12 slender white petals and a yellow center

Blue/purple blossoms that look like bells hanging down from green leaves. Buds that haven't opened are wrinkly and pink

A view from inside a rock shelter. Rock lines the top of the frame and a small waterfall is in the middle. You can see out into a forest with boulders and trees.

Pedicularis lanata (Woolly Lousewort) blooming near Nome Creek in the White Mountains, Alaska, in late May. The edible roots taste somewhat like carrots.
