Violets

sardartLeave a comment

In the language of flowers, it has had various symbolic meanings. Its color may indicate the love of truth or, conversely, the truth of love. In keeping with the latter, it is said that the tomb of the Roman tyrant Nero was decorated in the spring with violets by unknown persons who had secretly admired or loved him. Violets were often used as symbols of fasting or mourning. Source : http://www.americanvioletsociety.org/HistoryTraditions/Traditions.htmPhoto © Daniela Serra 2016 – All Rights Reserved

Yellow!

Yellow. In the meaning of colors, yellow inspires original thought and inquisitiveness. Yellow is creative from a mental aspect, the color of new ideas, helping us to find new ways of doing things. It is the practical thinker, not the dreamer.This is my yellow!Photo © Daniela Serra – All Rights Reserved

“Some women feel the need to act like they’re never scared, needy or hurt; like they’re as hardened as a man. I think that’s dishonest. It’s ok to feel delicate sometimes. Real beauty is in the fragility of your petals. A rose that never wilts isn’t a rose at all.” ( Crystal Woods, Write like no one is reading )Photo ©BrendaC.

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.

This is my blue. Blue was a favourite colour of the impressionist painters, who used it not just to depict nature but to create moods, feelings and atmospheres.In Vincent van Gogh’s Irises, the blue irises are placed against their complementary colour, yellow-orange.Van Gogh wrote to his brother Theo, “‘Cobalt [blue] is a divine colour and there is nothing so beautiful for putting atmosphere around things .(Source Wikipedia)Iris photographed in Florence during the exhibition of Iris.   .          ..Photo © Daniela Serra 2016 – All Rights Reserved

Macro is probably the most popular forms of photography, and with good reason. It is easily accessible, and it is a very broad genre of photography. Mentha arvensis is a wild mint that is native to the central part of the United States. The scent of this wild mint growing in a field is often so strong you can smell it long before you can see it.#adriano

A rose is a woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa, in the family Rosaceae, or the flower it bears. There are over a hundred species and thousands of cultivars. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing or trailing with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and northwestern Africa. – Wikipedia
