Nottingham catchfly

Nottingham catchfly

The unknown flower from yesterday is now identified as Nottingham catchfly (silene nutans). In Swedish “Backglim”. Thank you for trying to identify this. There is a proverb in Swedish that basically says “don’t cross the stream for water”. It was my neighbor who identified it.

Ha de Gött!

Feather

Feather

Light shivering grass
Loss flyby goose
Lingering winds brass
Lonely shadows loose
Swirl away class
Wind lead choose

Like the feather this poem does not really know where it’s going. Ha de Gött!

Drops

Drops

Drops of water resting on a leaves after the life giving rain.

Sun comes out, reflects in the drops. Calling them back.

So it evaporates and the ever ongoing cycle closes another loop.

Ha de Gött!

Daisy

Daisy

Daisy (bellis perenis) a little beautiful flower with a name for a cow. In Swedish “Tusensköna”. A bit more poetic using the Haddock translation technique. Split the word in two parts “tusen” and “sköna” then translate. Then it becomes the flower of Thousand Beauties. A bit more poetic, don’t you think.

Don’t get me wrong. I love cows, grew up on a farm with cows, several of them named Daisy. So stay tuned. To make the balance right I will try to come up with a cow poem in the future. Muu! Ha de Gött!

Cow Vetch (Viacia cracca)

Cow Vetch (Viacia cracca)

With the risk of becoming a flower photo blog I post another, flower. Can’t help myself, they are so beautiful. The camera lens is drawn to them as bees. So be it.

I’m also triggered by the investigation to find out the name. Like Sherlock Holmes I look for the clues and make deductions to find the answer. My Dr Watson, Mrs Haddock, also helps out (she’s pretty good at naming flowers but don’t tell her). When I fail I go to my Mrs Hudson, my mother-in-law, she’s like a Flora. One person missing in the gallery inspector Lestrade, that would probably be the actual Flora book.

There is probably an app available but that’s no fun. Ha de Gött!
