Die wissenschaftlichen Namen in der Botanik sind übrigens kein echtes Latein. Das kleine Knabenkraut, hier in eine Albinovariante gezeigt, heißt Anacamptis morio. Der Name kommt von dem griechischen (!) Wort "moros", das heißt "Narr". Die Blüte erinnert an eine Narrenkappe. #Naturbeobachtung#orchideen#flowersofmastodon

Viele heimische #orchideen kommen auch in einer weißen Form vor, ähnlich dem Albino bei Menschen.
Hier gezeigt das Kleine Knabenkraut, lat. Anacamptis morio var. albiflora.
Nur wenige Exemplare auf dieser Orchideenwiese zeigten eine farbliche Abweichung. #Naturbeobachtung#orchids#flowersofmastodon
I absolutely love the delicate beauty of this bearded Mary Frances orchid Iris, Iradaceae. The blue orchid flowers have a sweet fragrance, ruffled falls and standards. It is quite eye catching in the spring garden and is beautiful in a bouquet in any room of the home.

Incredibly, my computer has tagged this gorgeous, vibrant flower as species "Wallflower." But I can't imagine it languishing on the side of a dance floor - it's stunning!
Our red dahlia looking stunning a couple of weeks ago. I really do like the centres of dahlias, with those split yellow anthers and the simple shape...
Won't be long and the forest will be overflowing with Trilliums. The woods at the arboretum in Guelph Ontario Canada were filled with white Trillium wildflowers that covered the forest floor beautifully in spring.

We are so close to blooming Tulips, can't wait! Tulips are loved for their simplicity, beauty and elegance and this vivid purple pair are stunning in the spring garden. Purple tulips mean love, passion and nobility.
