Invasive... but beautiful 🌸 #ColorADay #PinkMon #Flowers #Bloomscrolling #EastCoastKin #ECK
Balfour's touch-me-not.
The flower resembles an orchid; the upper part is white, with yellow speckles in the centre. The lower part is pink.
The plant is native to the Himalayas; it became naturalised in the early 20th century and is on the region’s blacklist of invasive species.
The fruits are capsules about 2 cm long; they burst open, propelling the seeds up to 6 metres away.
The flowering period runs from July to September.

Guete morge aus Obrò Bodma #MountainMonday #Alps #ClassicMono
A black-and-white image of a traditional wooden fountain. The main structure is fashioned from a large tree trunk, positioned vertically to channel the water and horizontally to serve as a collection trough. A small metal cross is fixed to the top of the vertical trunk—a common feature of many rural Alpine fountains.

Obrò Bodma is a small mountain hamlet of Walser origin—a people of Germanic descent inhabiting the Alpine regions around the Monte Rosa massif—situated at an altitude of 1,910 meters in the municipality of Gressoney-Saint-Jean, along the hiking trails of the Lys Valley in the Aosta Valley.
"Guete morge" means "good morning" in the Titsch dialect.

A small moth with a metallic blue/green colouring on a pink flower.
The females of both genera have very similar, simple antennae (not comb-like). Consequently, definitive identification of the species almost always requires dissection and microscopic examination of the genitalia by an entomologist.

A robust and long-lived Celtis australis (European nettle tree) native to the Mediterranean area ☀️ Happy #ThickTrunkTuesday 🌳 #EastCoastKin #ECK I 💚 #trees
The tree can grow to 25 metres (82 ft) in height, though 10 m (33 ft) is more common in cooler climates. The bark is smooth and grey, almost elephantine.

The alternate leaves are narrow and sharp-toothed, rugose above and tomentose below, 5–15 centimetres (2–6 in) long and dark grey/green throughout the year, fading to a pale yellow before falling in autumn.

The apetalous wind-pollinated flowers are perfect (hermaphrodite, having both male and female organs), small and green, either singly or in small clusters.

The fruit is a small, dark-purple berry-like drupe, 1 cm wide, hanging in short clusters.
