Lamprocapnos
Lamprocapnos spectabilis “alba”.
Lamprocapnos spectabilis (bleeding heart or Asian bleeding-heart) is a species of flowering plant in the poppy family Papaveraceae. It is valued in gardens and in floristry for its heart-shaped pink and white flowers, borne in spring.The outer petals are bright fuchsia-pink, while the inner ones are white. The flowers strikingly resemble the conventional heart shape, with a droplet beneath. The pure white-flowered ‘Alba’, somewhat more robust than the species, is a popular cultivar.This beautiful Lamprocapnos spectabilis variety “Alba” I photographed at the Botanical Garden of Madrid.

Sardinia (Italy)
“A voyage over an emerald sea, past characteristic coves and beaches of snowwhite sand … this is Sardinia, an island that strikes its visitors with natural contrasts, the lights and colors of a region that boasts old traditions and a wild and pure nature. Situated in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, Sardinia is a mainly mountainous region, without high peaks, with a vast and charming, yet bittersweet, natural environment. In fact, the presence of man does not seem to affect this territory; great surfaces still preserve their natural composition, luxuriant woods with even millenary trees, small desert areas and marshes inhabited by deer, wild horses and rapacious birds. ….source http://www.italia.it/en/discover-italy/sardinia.html

Black flowers
There are flowers that have the color of the night … as this pansy but also cosmos, dahlias, hellebores, lilys, tulips… Black flowers are mysterious and elegant. In reality there are no truly black flowers – most are very dark shades of purple or red. They symbolise power, mystery, elegance, farewell and goodbye. . Photo © Daniela Serra – All Rights Reserved
