Almost forgot to post for #flowerfriday ! How dare! #bloomscrolling #flowers #pink #petals #ohsoprettydontyouthink #nature

In these last gasps of #bloomscrolling #FlowerFriday (at least in this part of the world), I enjoyed round 1 so much that I thought I’d end on a water flower (if the earlier pick was a fire flower). 🌸

"Plum Blossoms," Jin Nong, 1757.

Jin Nong (1687-c.1763) was a noted calligrapher and painter of China's Qing Dynasty. Not much about his early life is known; he only came to prominence in his late 50s, when as a childless widower he produced a series of nonconformist works.

While a lot of his work was very traditional, he loaded it with symbolism, and he preferred to sell his work in the open market, rather than having a private patron, which was the usual course of action for painters of the era.

Also a writer, poet, art critic and art dealer, Jin was listed as one of the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou, a group of painters who rejected orthodox ideas of art while producing highly individualistic and expressive works.

Happy Flower Friday!

A black-and-white photograph: at the end of a rose branch, the flower presents its full beauty, its petals slightly curled outwards and two buds adding accents. The leaves in the background beautifully enhance the rose. The background consists of several buildings and trees.

Apparently #Bloomscrolling & #FlowerFriday are a thing in these parts? I’m in. One for sun. ☀️ (and fractals) 🌺🌀

📍 Melampodium (Melampodium leucanthum), Royal Lakes neighborhood, Jacksonville, Florida

The image showcases a cluster of vibrant yellow Melampodium flowers set against a background of lush green foliage. The main flower is centrally positioned, exhibiting numerous slender petals radiating from a dense, textured golden-yellow center. Surrounding this central bloom are several other partially visible flowers, interspersed among broad, textured green leaves that fill the frame. The lighting is strong, casting shadows and highlights that accentuate the textures of both the petals and leaves, giving depth and dimension to the composition.

Einen tollen Freitag wünsche ich euch allen
I wish you all a great Friday.

A detailed close-up shot of a blooming red hibiscus flower. The large, textured petals of the flower are a bright, saturated red, catching the sunlight and casting subtle shadows. The pistil extends from the center, displaying a delicate yellow color with red tips, adding a focal point to the composition. The flower is surrounded by lush green leaves from the plant and a backdrop of green grass and foliage, creating a natural, vibrant setting. The image captures the intricate details of the flower and the surrounding greenery.

Photo of a perfect red rose with velvety petals sitting in a small, round, green vase, on a Lazy Susan with a glossy sheen over its wood grain. Behind and to the left of the rose are salt and pepper shakers and a large green decorative candle with a molded surface pattern. Further back are drinking glasses and pink and purple blossoms in vases, and at the edge of the dining table are rattan or bamboo chairs. Everything is slightly out of focus except for the rose.

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.

"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!
