They are cool! Have quite a few different types of Hoyas. Very fragrant, too.

It's Hoya season at my place. Love these flowers! As do the bees, moths and butterflies. #hoya #gardening

I have several species of Hoya entwined across my window. They are heavy with half orbs of pink flowers with a darker pink centre.

The hues, the scents, the rustling, everything Autumn was offered today. 📷 🍂 …

Fall coloured leaves landed and then dotted with last nights rain are now seemingly placed perfectly for this eye feast.

Calm after the storm 📷🍂 …

The storm has passed and the calm water reflects the softness of autumn colours around the vista.

Yes! I have a white one with a pale lime throat too. That's even more beautiful, I reckon.

Kathryn Selmes @kathrynselmes.bsky.social · 2d

Me too. They come in loads of colours too.

And hello from sultry Sydney! Wish we could do swapsies. There are a few cold-climate plants I'd love to grow.

Kathryn Selmes @kathrynselmes.bsky.social · 4d

Yes! I think so too. I have quite a few on my orchid 'wall' but they're a little past their best.

Kathryn Selmes @kathrynselmes.bsky.social · 4d

I think so too ☺️

Kathryn Selmes @kathrynselmes.bsky.social · 4d

Magnificent! I had a short break from social media, but I missed your beautiful photos. Good to see you're still meandering. ☺️Hope you're well!

Just before the rains arrived 📷 🍂…

The rains arrived shortly after this moment of light accenting the Fall hues along the slough.

These Dendrobium nobile cultivars grow like weeds in my Sydney garden

This Dendrobium nobile cultivar has soft purple tips to the petals and sepals with a deep burgundy throat. They are growing like weeds in my Sydney garden.

Jane Goodall was my first childhood hero, as I loved animals as a kid and was inspired by her story. I still remember the National Geographic specials about her. RIP.

Blushing Blooms of the Meadow in Pink

#Photography #NaturePhotography #VisualPoetry #PhotoOfTheDay #Wildflowers #CrownVetch #MeadowBloom #NaturalBeauty #EarthElegance #PoeticNature #BloomingSeason #EcoPoetry #PetalsAndLight

The photograph captures a cluster of delicate pink-and-white wildflowers in full bloom. Each blossom is made up of many small petals forming a rounded crown, blending hues of soft rose and pale white. The flowers rise above a bed of slender, green grass blades that frame the scene with a lively natural texture. The sunlight highlights the petals, giving them a luminous, almost translucent glow. In the lower left corner, a watermark is clearly visible: “©ahaktekin.”

These flowers belong to the Crown Vetch (Securigera varia), a legume species often found in meadows, roadsides, and grasslands. Their clustered blooms attract bees and butterflies, playing an important role in supporting pollinators. Crown Vetch also contributes to soil stability with its deep root system, making it valuable for erosion control.
