Beauty of plants

This group is intended to gather observations exhibiting particular beauty of plants. The plants itself or poised on the background of Nature. The plants caught illuminated in an unusual way. The plants extracted from a background. Please publish observations satisfying these intentions, allowing exactly this group to be the permanent exhibition of the best works. Also take care, please, of the highest possible technical level of your photos. Do not publish works 'gray stem on gray background' or 'white lily on white background'. The administrators reserve right to remove such observations - of course after discussion with the author. All comments on presented works are welcome, in hope to be honest but not arrogant... Do not use anonymity in so called 'blog way'! Has such a group a chance to exist? Time will show... Many thanks to all colleagues for the wonderful collection of observations!

Plants of Poland

All plants naturally occurring in Poland, including not native and invasive. Wszystkie rośliny naturalnie występujące w Polsce, włącznie z nie rodzimymi i inwazyjnymi. Group languages are English and Polish. Językami grupy są angielski i polski. Pot plants, sometimes beloved, is better to publish in the group "House Plants". Roślinki doniczkowe, czasem ukochane, lepiej jest zamieścić w grupie "House Plants". Bardzo, bardzo proszę szanownych kolegów o geolokalizację do ich obserwacji! Obserwacje są już naprawdę na poziomie, jakość techniczna zdjęć dawno przerosła przeciętną w PlantNet, ale geolokacja pozwoliłaby przekroczyć poziom zielniczka pensjonarki... Też piękna rzecz, ale znaczenie ma tylko dla pensjonarki... Emocjonalne...

"An epiphyte is an organism that grows on the surface of a plant and derives its moisture and nutrients from the air, rain, water (in marine environments) or from debris accumulating around it." Individual observations don't have to be epiphytic, the species just has to be able to grow as such.

The grasses (Poaceae) 🌾

In this group, all photos of grasses are allowed (All plants belonging to the family Poaceae : Miscanthus, Festuca, Phyllostachys, Poa, Triticum and many others...but not Carex) : in other words any plant with tiny flowers grouped in spikes, with a hollow stem. The grasses (or Poaceae) comprise about 12,000 species grouped into 780 genera, with a cosmopolitan distribution. It is the fifth largest family of flowering plants by number of species. They are fairly common plants, but we don't really look for them. And some of them are not so easy to distinguish from others! That is why I would like this group to be a group of sharing, knowledge and mutual help.
