Ein letztes Bild zum #InsektenSamstag: eine #Studentenblume mit #Hummel. Und dann kann ich mich wohl nicht mehr vor den Urlaubsvorbereitungen drücken. // One last post for #InsectSaturday: a #bumblebee on a #marigold. Now I can't put off the pre-holiday chores any longer.

A close-up of a fluffy bumblebee perched on a vibrant yellow marigold flower. The bee, with its distinctive black and yellow striped body and white-tipped tail, appears to be foraging for nectar. The marigold’s bright, layered petals stand out vividly against the dark, blurred background, creating a striking contrast. The scene captures a moment of natural beauty and the essential role of bees in pollination.

I can't let the sun go down without a #FlowerFriday post. These late-blooming “Ladybird” Cosmos were planted on impulse back in July in bowls left over from growing peas. They've added a lot of unexpected color to my fall patio table.

A single yellow flower stands atop a leafy green plant growing in a bowl. There are many buds on long thin branching stems on all sides of the one flower.

Yellow flowers stand atop very thin stems emerging from a leafy dark green plant growing in a bowl. The flowers are surrounded by the clutter of a patio table, including other flowers and leaves, and electrical lights dangling from a patio umbrella.

A single yellow flower opens form the end of a long thin stem at a 45° angle. The stem reaches down to a leafy dark green plant growing in a bowl. The flower is surrounded by the clutter on a patio table, including other flowers and leaves.

"Red Hollyhocks in the Garden," Anna Ancher, 1916.

Ancher (1859-1935) is considered one of Denmark's finest artists. She was one of the leading figures of the Skagen school, a group of artists who gathered in the fishing village of Skagen, turning it into an artists' colony.

The Skagen artists loved plein air painting, rejected the academic formality of the Danish art establishment, and worked in a style that mixed Impressionism with Realism and sometimes dashes of Expressionism. Skagen artists, and especially Ancher, usually portrayed everyday life and natural scenes, and eschewed historical, religious, and allegorical painting.

Ancher is also something of a feminist icon, a woman who rejected social pressure to simply be a wife and mother to continue working and being a prominent and trailblazing artist. She became an example and inspiration to other Danish women seeking to form a place in the world.

Her home is now a museum, and she has been featured on Danish currency. And learn more about the Skagen artists...they're cool.

Happy Flower Friday!

A #LentenRose on the small cemetery of #Corvey Palace for #FlowerFriday, not far from the grave of German poet Hoffmann von Fallersleben.
He wrote several popular and timeless children's songs (we all know them, yet I had no idea they were all penned by him!) and the poem that became our national anthem.
What stuck with me, though, was that at 51, he married his 18-year old niece. 👀 She died on their 11th wedding anniversary, giving birth to their fourth child. This flower is for you, Ida! 🥀

A delicate cluster of blooming flowers, featuring soft pink and cream-coloured petals, grows beside a small, decorative lantern in a tranquil cemetery setting. The slender green stems and leaves of the flowers contrast with the grey stone base of the lantern. The background reveals a peaceful, well-maintained garden with gravel paths, lush greenery, and a blurred view of a historic building, evoking a sense of calm and reflection.

"Iris at Dawn," Maria Oakey Dewing, 1899.

Dewing (1845-1927) was the wife of painter Thomas Wilmer Dewing (who I really like) and an accomplished painter in her own right, mostly of florals but some figures.

She was born into an intellectual New York family, including an architect brother, and studied painting from an early age. including a spell at the Cooper Union, and being a founding member of the Art Students League of New York. Even as a student she was getting good notices and acclaim for her work.

She and her husband were both passionate gardeners and nature enthusiasts, and she believed it was important to study and paint nature. Her floral works were her most famous, and she won awards at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago and at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo.

She also did still lifes and textile art, occasional painting collaborations with Thomas, wrote a number of books and articles, and later in life moved to portraits and figural work, but expressed dissatisfaction about not reaching her full potential. While she loved her husband very much, she also felt overshadowed by him.

Happy Flower Friday!
