At last, Spring

…And when we got back from ‘messing about in boats’ to plant #LeafyGreens from that sweet little nursery we found along the way, we saw it. The first of the small #SpringStar #BlueFlower bulbs had burst into bloom. We settled in, admiring its ethereal #blues with a nice cup of tea, happy to be home.

Spring Star - Blue flowers
(Ipheion uniflorum) Also known as 'Triteleia'. This 'set and forget' perennial flowering bulb has masses of lightly scented pale blue star-shaped six-petalled flowers, with bee-yellow centres, that dance on 15cm stalks above a strappy rich green foliage. They begin to bloom from Australia’s late winter to early spring, when the first scent of jasmine starts drifting through the air.

Cornflower (Centaurea cyanus, Echte Kornblume) is an annual wildflower native to Europe, traditionally found growing in grain fields and other open habitats. It is known for its intense blue petals and delicate, thistle-like structure. Once common in agricultural landscapes, it declined due to herbicide use but has made a comeback in wildflower mixes and eco-friendly gardens.
Cornflower is an important plant for pollinators. Its vivid blue flowers are highly attractive to bees, especially honeybees and bumblebees, as well as butterflies and hoverflies. It offers nectar and pollen throughout summer, supporting insects during their active periods. Additionally, its seeds can provide food for birds like finches. In wildflower meadows and naturalistic plantings, Centaurea cyanus helps restore biodiversity and plays a role in regenerating species-rich ecosystems.

A bright blue flower with layered, fringed petals radiating outward from a dark purple center, surrounded by slender green leaves and grass-like foliage. The petals have a slightly crinkled texture, giving the bloom a soft, spiky appearance. This is a Cornflower (Centaurea cyanus), also known in German as Echte Kornblume.

Nigella damascena, commonly known as Love-in-a-Mist or Jungfer im Grünen, is an annual flowering plant belonging to the buttercup family (Ranunculaceae). Native to southern Europe and North Africa, it is well-loved in gardens for its delicate beauty and ease of cultivation. The plant features finely divided, feathery foliage and produces striking flowers in shades of blue, white, or pink, which are surrounded by thread-like bracts that create a misty or airy appearance.
Beyond its ornamental charm, Nigella damascena also holds ecological value. It serves as a nectar and pollen source for various pollinators, including bees and hoverflies, supporting the health and diversity of garden ecosystems. The plant self-seeds readily, helping to maintain ground cover and reduce soil erosion, particularly in cottage gardens or wildflower patches. Additionally, it can play a beneficial role in companion planting by attracting pollinators to nearby vegetables and herbs. With minimal care required, Love-in-a-Mist offers both aesthetic and ecological benefits, making it a valuable addition to pollinator-friendly gardens.

Das Bild zeigt die Blüte einer Wegwarte mit zarten, blauen Blütenblättern, die in einem radialen Muster angeordnet sind. Im Zentrum der Blüte befinden sich zahlreiche Staubblätter, die mit feinen, blauen Fäden verziert sind. Auf der Blüte sitzt eine Schwebfliege mit einem gelb- und schwarzgestreiften Körper und transparenten Flügeln. Der Hintergrund ist unscharf und zeigt grüne Blätter, was die Blüte und die Fliege im Vordergrund hervorhebt. Die Wegwarte ist bekannt für ihre medizinischen Eigenschaften und als Nahrungsquelle für Insekten.
I love these little blue wild wonders 🩵
Forget me not or a mouse's ear 🤭

On my morning walks I see these vining flowers and love em. Eevee doesn't like that I tried to get a clipping so I must enjoy them from a far instead. Used a tripod, tried to get a large depth of field in a sunny day. Low ISO and medium speed. Slider work done to try to recreate the saturation of the flower. #macro #macrophotography #macroflower #blueflower #photoshopedit #2023photochallenge

Would anyone like to join me for 30 Days In Bloom? Day 1 is Clerodendron (Rotheca) ugandense is an evergreen shrub native to Kenya, with blue-violet flowers shaped like flying butterflies. It blooms all summer long and has a tendency to be quite thirsty, which makes it a pain to grow in the greenhouse.

Clerodendron ugandense, also known as Rotheca 'Ugandense' is a tropical flowering plant. This image shows a watercolor illustration of five blue and purple flowers. They don't look real, but this is indeed a real plant in Nature. Each bloom is shaped like a butterfly, with four light blue petals growing out to the sides like wings, and a long purple petal growing down to the bottom, like the body of the butterfly. Long curling anther tendrils emerge from the top of each blossom, like the butterflies antennae, and each tendtil is topped with a creamy colored cluster of pollen. The blooms grow at the end of short angular stalks, all stemming from a whirl of oval shaped, green leaves in the background. The image is titled "Clerodendron ugandense, Blue Butterfly Flower".

Tried to provide some contrast in this shot with the blue, purple, green on the right and yellow on the left. Focusing was with the screen and not by eyesight. Still trying to figure that out. I am using a paper to help focus before taking the shot. Higher aperture setting, lower ISO, and longer exposure to compensate for the indoor lighting. Slider work to try to make it more vibrant. #blueflower #yellowflower #macro #macrophotography #macroflower #2023photochallenge
