Nice flower, shame about the aphids. That horrible moment when you zoom in on a houseplant and see more than you wanted too 🤣🌱🪴 #Bloomscrolling #plantsky #houseplants

A close up shot of a spider-plant flower, close enough to reveal the tiny greenfly hanging out on the stem. Squirt squirt maddafakkas.

Good Afternoon Bluesky Folks My latest capture features a beautiful red rose I spotted yesterday on my way to my local charity shop to volunteer. I took it with my iPhone 17 Pro! 🌱 #NaturePhotography #PhotographersOfBluesky #PlantSky #UkGardening #Bloomscrolling #Flower #iphone17pro

This vertical, close-up photograph features a vibrant vivid red rose in full bloom, angled slightly to the left.
Here are the key details in the image:
Main Flower: The central rose displays velvety, tightly layered petals spiraling inward toward the center, with softer outer petals opening outward.
Buds & Stems:
To the left and right of the main bloom are two green unopened or partially opening rosebuds on thin stems.
The stems and small sepals around the buds show noticeable tiny green insects or debris (likely aphids or garden pests).
Dark green leaves are attached lower on the stems.
Background: The background is softly blurred (bokeh effect), showing an outdoor paved or ground area in front of a residential house with white-framed windows and a dark car parked nearby.

Periwinkle Jacob’s Ladder from my Mom's flower garden in Spring 2025 💙 🌱 #Bloomscrolling #ColorADay #BlueTue #ArtYear

This floral photograph features:

Clusters of periwinkle-blue Jacob’s ladder blooms open in late-morning spring light, white stamens tipped in pale gold above ladder-like leaves, more blossoms drifting into soft blue bokeh behind.

Left behind in plain sight, I hold my sealed, frozen skin against a world that simply stopped looking. I remain stranded in this cold bloom, waiting for the silence to finish me. #ColorADay #BlueTue #Macro #Photography #Nature

A macro photo of a plant with closed seed pods in shades of cold blue and muted green. The pods are arranged tightly on thin stalks, covered in fine trichomes. The background is a soft bokeh of blurred greens and yellows, creating a stark contrast with the cool tone of the central plant

Time for a #WeeBee before they all disappear. This is one reason why I don't like Autumn. I know they will be back but it will be a long wait. Anyhoo, in the meantime. #BlueTue #ColorADay #Insects #BugsOfBluesky #Macro #EastCoastKin #PhotographersOfBlueSky #iPhonePhotography #DailyArt

A Carder Bee gets down to business on one of the last blue Ceratostigma blooms, leaning right into the heart of the flower to extract the nectar while clinging on with its black legs. The wings are folded back over the insects honey-coloured fuzzy back. The background is greenery of the garden.

Theyre spiky too, we call them 'conkers' in Britain 😀 My brother has a similar problem with a crabapple tree over a shed with a tin roof, he works from home too, hates this time of year 🤣

They like really poor soil and low nitrogen feed, I wonder if the compost in that bed was too rich for it?

Rick M @rickmartin.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

Well that one way to over winter them I suppose, leave them in the packet haha.

Cardboard boxes would do the trick too probably l, just plant the whole thing 😀
