The orange flower of Gazania

Il fiore arancione della Gazania

The orange flower of the Gazania.
My wife really likes to visit greenhouses and flower nurseries so every now and then we visit one that is close to us.
I, with my camera, always try to photograph the most beautiful flowers.
In this case perhaps these gazanias were not in their best shape but they still seemed like a beautiful flower to me.

Yellow or Peruvian Oleander Photographed in the Caribbean

L'oleandro giallo o del Perù fotografato ai Caraibi

The yellow or Peruvian oleander photographed in the Caribbean.
I don't remember exactly on which beach in the Caribbean I found this flower (I think in Antigua) but I liked it a lot and, in Europe, it's not so normal to find flowers on the beach.
Doing some research online I think I understood that it is the flower called thevetia peruviana but if someone more expert wants to correct me, they are welcome!

Often, in common usage, in the press and in advertising it is mistakenly defined as Women's Day, even if it is more correct to call it International Women's Day, since the motivation behind the celebration is not a festivity, but reflection.

The bright elegance of the sunflower flower

La luminosa eleganza del fiore di girasole: un sole in terra

The luminous elegance of the sunflower flower: a sun on earth.
In the world of flowers, few represent joy, brightness and optimism as much as the sunflower. This sunny flower captures the gaze and hearts with its simple elegance, carrying a message of positivity that captivates everyone who encounters it.
The sunflower is a symbol of happiness and positive energy. Its distinctive shape, with its compact center surrounded by golden petals, looks like a small version of the sun. Watching a field of sunflowers following the sunlight throughout the day is an image that fills the soul with warmth and serenity.
This flower is known for its behavior of chasing the sunlight, rotating its head during the day to follow the path of the sun. This attitude has been interpreted as a sign of optimism and perseverance. Sunflowers teach us to look for the light even on the darkest days.
Giving a sunflower as a gift is a gesture full of meaning. It is a message of affection and hope for a bright future. In many cultures, the sunflower is associated with concepts of love, friendship and appreciation. It is a gift that can brighten the day of anyone who receives it.
The sunflower has inspired artists, poets and writers throughout the ages. It has become an iconic subject in works of art, from famous paintings to touching photographs. But its true beauty lies in the fact that it is not just a symbol in human culture, but a precious element of nature.
In a sometimes frenetic world, the sunflower reminds us to slow down and appreciate the beauty that surrounds us. It invites us to celebrate life, to look for the light even in the darkest moments and to spread joy and positivity wherever we go.

The sunflower is much more than just a flower. It is a bringer of joy, a symbol of optimism, and a reminder to connect with nature and ourselves. Next time you see a sunflower, take a moment to contemplate it and remember the importance of spreading warmth and light into the lives of others, just as this beautiful flower does.

The nursery I went to is: Gaggero Nurseries in Carasco.

The generic name (Helianthus) derives from two Greek words: "helios" (= sun) and "anthos" (= flower) in reference to the plant's tendency to always turn its bud towards the sun, before flowering (the mature flower instead always faces east). This behavior is known as heliotropism.

The name of the genus, adopted by Linnaeus in 1753 and meaning “passion flower” (from the Latin passio = passion and flos = flower), was attributed to it by the Jesuit missionaries in 1610, due to the similarity of some parts of the plant to the religious symbols of the passion of Jesus: the tendrils to the whip with which he was flagellated, the three styles to the nails, the stamens to the hammer, the corolla rays to the crown of thorns.
