Not Exactly What We Thought ...

englishtchrivy (72) in photography • 7 years ago (edited)

Have you ever seen a Butterbur in summer? Probably .. but then just its leaves. The flowers ... they come first in Spring.

I can't really say that it is already spring though the many bulbs are already budding and some are already in bloom cause it's been minus degrees the past days. I think that's why that flu that's been going around, I caught it, too that's why I have been pretty quiet.

I've walked through this path most of the summer and I really thought the leaves of this plants were that of them plants that bear flowers that looked like naked umbrellas.

I was scared of going through the thicket so I'd go around it and step on the grass instead because of the thought that its sap could send you to the ER but all that fear is actually unnecessary for it actually is just a very innocent Butterbur path.

I would have made it a lot easier have I asked the resto near the path what they actually are so yeah ... sometimes, things aren't really what we actually thought.

EDIT:

I can't keep my eyes open now .. sniffle meds sending me off to dreamland already so am sorry I have to hit the bed now and just come back in the morrow .. please bear with me ya' all. Thank you.

Sorry to hear you're under the weather. Heat up a bottle of beer, add a bit of lemon. Drink (disgusting) and immediately after off to bed, well covered. You'll be drowsy, possibly lightly feverish, you'll sweat, and you'll be right as rain the next morning, two treatments tops. Get well soon!

PS: Nice pics. No trace of color around here yet, just snow. :-(

Sorry to hear that. Are you against the flu jab? I have it every year, and it works.
Lovely photographs, as always.
Your shadow does look scary though :D

This time of year, nature too is deceptive. The flu is even worse than in the winter. I hope you feel better. These flowers are like the first signs of spring. It's nice to see nature Wake up. I'm not familiar with this plant. But having seen it I probably would have experienced pleasant emotions. Because after these first flowers will appear even more different plants. Do you have snowdrops growing?

it is!
last time we're talking about things in bloom too early
now it's like frozen every where
thanks for sharing those pulsatilla vulgaris
they call it wildemanskruid meaning wild man's herb
I've only seen them in fuschia here
I didn't know they exist in white and blue
I've only seen them in a castle nearby .. hmmm.. so they're just weeds out there?
beautiful!

If I am not mistaken, they are known 17 species (in Russia only 12), but some of them are listed in the Red book and are under state protection. We have the violators face a fine. They can be yellow color. Well, it's so easy if you're interested. I wish you a speedy recovery.

I don't think I have even seen those. The leaves seem somehow familiar...but no the flowers. So cool that it blooms first :)

Despite the season it does indeed seems to be pretty great to look around in your images !

Sorry to hear about the flu though !

In the full scenery of the place you are standing & taking the image in that image the plants were not getting much attention while the images after that it sure looks pretty amazing ,they are indeed beautifully taken !

Thanks for the visit to the post of mine .I am getting there gradually :)
