Poor frosty flowers!! Gloriosa Daisy- Rubedeckia hitra (Asteraceae) Perennial wildflower The Gloriosa Daisy is known for its Perennial wildflowerand unique shape. Both monocotyledon and dicotyledonous flowers use the flowers as a sexual organ. A flower consist in the 4 following parts: Calyx – the outer whorl of sepals; typically these are green, but are petal-like in some species corolla – the whorl of petals, which are usually thin, soft and colour to attract insects that help the process of pollination. Androecium (from Greek andros oikia: man’s house) – one or two whorls of stamens, each a filament topped by an anther where pollen is produced. Pollen contains the male gametes. Gynoecium (from Greek gynaikos oikia: woman’s house) – one or more pistils. The female reproductive organ is the carpel: this contains an ovary with ovules (which contain female gametes). A pistil may consist of a number of carpals merged together, in which case there is only one pistil to each flower, or of a single individual carpel (the flower is then called apocarpous). The sticky tip of the pistil, the stigma, is the receptor of pollen. The supportive stalk, the style becomes the pathway for pollen tubes to grow from pollen grains adhering to the stigma, to the ovules, carrying the reproductive material. Single and double blooms and varying colours of petals from yellow to red to burgandy and variations there of, can occur from from one cluster and root mass of the same plant. Found in well drained, sunny locations, this plant thrives almost anywhere. Used widely in gardens, but is a true wildflower – it is derived from the Black-eyed Susan. This is a hardy long lasting flower. Blooms from July to September.

I have no idea where it came from, now it’s popping up all over the place! :] Norwood Ontario Canada.

Taken at my neighbours garden. Just love the contrasting colours. / Better viewed large!
Until Newton’s work became accepted, most scientists believed that white was the fundamental color of light; and that other colors were formed only by adding something to light. Newton demonstrated this was not true by passing white light through a prism, then through another prism. If the colors were added by the prism, the second prism should have added further colors to the single-colored beam. Since the single-colored beam remained a single color, Newton concluded that the prism merely separated the colors already present in the light. White light is the effect of combining the visible colors of light in equal proportions. In the science of lighting, there is a continuum of colors of light that can be called “white”. One set of colors that deserves this description is the color emitted via the process called incandescence, by a black body at various relatively-high temperatures. For example, the color of a black body at a temperature of 2848 kelvins matches that produced by domestic incandescent light bulbs. It is said that “the color temperature of such a light bulb is 2848 K”. The white light used in theatre illumination has a color temperature of about 3200 K. Daylight can vary from a cool red up to a bluish 25,000 K. Not all black body radiation can be considered white light: the background radiation of the universe, to name an extreme example, is only a few kelvins and is quite invisible.
I loved all the different hues in this lovely Rose. From my garden / August, 2009
Tulip ‘Pink Fountain’......was featured 3 times!!! :-))) by redbubble art and ‘The Woman Photographer’ and ‘One Single Flower On Show’

Sunflowers planted along a cornfield after an evening rain near Woodland, IL. The flowers were abuzz with all types of bees and flying insects. If you look closely you can see a bee enjoying a morning nip of nectar at the far left side. Taken with a Nikon Coolpix 5700. Featured in the “Sunflowers” and “Fabulous Flowers” Groups. Thanks! / Top 10 in the Sunflowers challenge in Single Flower group.

Patersonia occidentalis (Native Iris or Purple Flag). There were quite a few of these on the Short Cut track at the Valley of the Waters at Wentworth Falls in the Blue Mountains. / The misty rain covered them in light raindrops. I was fascinated by the delicate inner centre & considered cropping this shot to focus on it but it made the image a bit small. so you will have to hit the ‘View Larger’ button to see it better.
