yeeeeaaah,all of my favorites,I try to grow this kind of exotixs on my Dutch balkony or in my room.Some they survived,like me,some could not make it,:O(.I love to walk with you,ciao,light and happynes to you.
Mona, they are from the same batch of photos I took of leaves and posted a selection once before. It had rained so the plants were very 'alive' and clear and I was trying different angles with the sun... thanks for noticing
What a paradise! Thank you so much for posting such stunning photos. I always envy people (just a bit!) who live in such beautiful places.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comments on my recent blog post! We do seem to have much in common. I know people can't comment on everything I post, and it doesn't bother me (too much!). Like everyone else, I also find it difficult to find enough time to visit every blog I'd like to visit, really read the post closely, and comment thoughtfully. I do try to drop in to as many as possible, whenever possible. Some great, profound and beautiful posts won't get the attention they might deserve, but everyone is so busy. We all just do the best we can. :0)
I've attempted to start a blog with a more environmental focus, and found that all my research was falling on deaf ears, so I'm still finding my niche with that particular blog. At this point, my research has informned me, but no one else seems interested. I'm not giving up, though!
Oooh, such a beautiful post and blog!! I have two Anthuriums (I call them my little penis plants---Tee Hee), but haven't had much luck with Bromeliads, which I killed. I love leaves, too, and am always reminded of a poem by Robert Frost, "Leaves Compared With Flowers" when I see posts about leaves. The last two stanzas are:
"I bade men tell me which in brief, Which is fairer, flower or leaf. They did not have the wit to say, Leaves by night and flowers by day.
Leaves and bark, leaves and bark, To lean against and hear in the dark. Petals I may have once pursued. Leaves are all my darker mood."
Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by my place! Blessings and Love from Louisiana---
I love leaves because of the sense of growth evoked by the color green. And green is right in the middle of the color spectrum--hot below, cool above--and so green is serene and restful. The delicate, lacy quality of the fern is so beautiful. I notice some pretty pinks, too, that when coupled with green make the heart chakra, love, compassion. I enjoyed everyone's comments: it's fun, isn't it? Happy days, Margaret
When I see leaves, I feel so grateful for them. When I *see* leaves, I realise that I'm actually looking at the exterior surfaces of my very own lungs.
Without leaves, we'd have no life, no need of our lungs. Our lungs take in the oxygen that leaves put into the air for us to breathe.
Hi Angela, thanks for your added comments and compliments. I love to show you around the beautiful places in my corner of the world and also enjoy forging new friendships. The blog needs to adapt and grow as we express ourselves and play with our creativity.
Welcome to the place of Leaves and Nature's Treasure! Thank you for visiting and for the most apt Frost poem. I love the way these comments become an organic kind of chat place where the original topic grows and broadens.
Bromeliads will only flower once then they shoot a baby, or more, off to the side . If you cut the baby off and replant it she will flower in time. I have a 'Bromeliad Hospital' in the corner of my garden where I do all the surgery and replanting and waiting...and then one day...wonders of wonders I find a new flower...
Thank you so much for your much appreciated comments
thanks for adding your interesting comments. I like the way that you have reminded us about the feelings evoked through colour and colour combinations. The pinks with the greens do create a gentle softness in a sea of calm.
Isn't it great that a picture of a leaf or two can create a feeling or a mood and take us to quite another place... Ah, the inimitable power of nature...
We need to remind ourselves of that two way relationship don't we... another great way to feel thankful and increase our gratitude and therefore 'well being' quotient.
Tulsa, You are welcome to come here and breathe deeply any time. I am sure that seeing the images or visualising the forest can have a beneficial effect on the body, mind and spirit.
This has been a great sharing, thank you all for your generous contributions, we have much in common and also much diversity we can learn from each other, we can share with each other we can build new friendships we can bring each other beauty, joy and warmth
Well, better late than never, I guess... one feels an incredible sense of peace and harmony here, even from far, far away... Thank you Delwyn for helping us slow down for a minute of quiet Meditation on natural wonders...
Oh those tree ferns are a sight! We don't get those in Europe. I remember driving through the Black Spur forest in Victoria. The tree ferns were giants.
Bromeliad
Cordyline
Croton
Baby epiphytic Elkhorn
Tree fern
Anthurium
Leafy beauty
They're all so beautiful and so exotic! I only recognize Anthurium.
ReplyDeletethis could be my garden. i have so many similar plants...
ReplyDeletePolly and Priya -
ReplyDeleteI love this contrast...
Polly says they are unknown and Priya says they are familiar...
Happy days to you both

It must be so nourishing to walk in that sacred place. The earth is full of magic.

What a great post, and a poem from Frost from Louisiana in a commentary. What a banquet of sights and sounds.

ReplyDeleteLush, exuberant, rich. Those were the first three words that popped into my head when I entered your blog tonight. How beautiful! Many thanks.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from London.
Hmmmm, more Greenis Vegetatis.

Thank you so much for this beautiful post...I feel like I have been able to breathe some really fresh air!
ReplyDeleteI love ferns too!
Meri,
ReplyDeleteyou are right. I always feel refreshed and invigorated after a walk in nature.
