The old song “Summertime” by George Gershwin, performed by Ella Fitzgerald, is getting to my mind when I look at this foto of our local river. Have a wonderful day ya’ll, stay safe and healthy.
In German this flower is called Schmuckkörbchen which literally translates to little jewelry basket. Ya I know, the German way of naming things is often very weird. This flower has no other use other than to be a fly by food stop for our winged friends and to be pretty.f
. . . in plain site. The distance between the deer and the foot path is maybe just 15 meters. There where lots of people passing by while I was standing there, looking and taking pictures. Nobody else noticed this lil guy. They where all busy staring at their phones. Yes, our phones are kinda the logbooks of out lives, but life isn’t happening in the phone. So look up and around and put that darn thing away.
The German name of this flower doesn’t sound half as nice as the English one. Also Kronen-Lichtnelke doesn’t sound romantic one bit, just kinda silly, at least for German ears. However, during the Middle Ages this flower was used as medicinal herb.
