It’s Interesting to Look Deep into the Throats of Flowers

It’s Interesting to Look Deep into the Throats of Flowers features a macro photo of the throat of a pipevine flower. It explains why the author/artist enjoys taking images like this.

Deep Have you ever taken a close look down the throat of a deep throated flower? I’m not sure exactly why they fascinate me, but, but I’m always curious about what’s down there. Maybe I want to see the same view as a bee does, I’m not sure. Whatever the reason, I like doing it even more now that I have a macro lens. The macro lens gives an even better view of what’s down inside those flowers.…

Aristolochia californica

This vine with its odd-looking flowers is a native of northern California, and is sometimes called the California pipevine. The idea here is that the flowers are reminiscent of a meerschaum pipe, but this requires a little imagination. The flowers are visited by the Pipevine Swallowtail butterfly, which depends on the vine for its life cycle. Aristolochia lends its name to the family Aristolochiaceae, with many of the species having flowers just as odd and fascinating as this one.

 Queen Alexandra's birdwing is a species of butterfly in the genus Ornithoptera which is native to the forests of the Oro Province in eastern Papua New Guinea. The species was first described in 1906 by Albert Stewart Meek, a collector employed by Walter Rothschild to collect natural history specimens from New Guinea. In the next year, Rothschild named the species in honour of Alexandra of Denmark. Queen Alexandra’s birdwing is notable at being exceptionally hard to catch often flying several hundred feet in the air and resting in the branches of the jungle canopy. To overcome this difficult Meek resorted to taking the first specimens with aid of a small shotgun, however in the months to come Meek soon discovered the caterpillar forms and began to dutifly breed them in captivity. Female Queen Alexandra's birdwings are considerably larger than males with markedly rounder, broader wings reaching around 3 inches long, 12 grams in weight, and sporting a 9 to 11 inch wingspan, compared to males at around 1.5 inches long, 6 grams in weight, with a 6-8 inch wingspan. It is the largest butterfly species on earth. When the wings are open, the female butterflies display a brown coloration with white marks patterned in a pair of rows of chevrons in their primary wings, while the hindwings are also brown, but having submarginal lines of centered triangles in dull white to yellow. The males show an iridescent blue-green hue in both the primary and secondary wings along with a black band at the center. When the wings are closed, both the sexes display a fainter version of the dorsal sides along with darker veins. As caterpillars they have a black body with red tubercles all over, as well as a saddle or band of cream color at the center of their body and almost exclusively feed upon the Aristolochia schlecteri a species of toxic pipevine. It takes around six weeks for the insect to reach the stage of the chrysalis. The cocoon has a golden yellow to tan coloration with distinct black marks on the body. This stage lasts for about a month or sometimes a little more before the adults emerge. As adults Queen Alexandra’s birdwing feed on the nectar of a variety of flowers and are themselves occasionally preyed upon by birds and orb weaver spiders. During there brief 3 month life span as adults, this butterflys mate frequently, often every morning. With females being capable of laying over 240 eggs throughout there life.

Daylilies: not just enjoyed by people! 🦋

(I’m not sure if these very tall, very large orange daylilies came from Miss Ann or were rescues from the building. Probably a black-morph Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterfly, but I didn’t get a good enough look for long enough to make sure it wasn’t a pipevine or spicebush instead, seeing how it had largely disappeared inside the flower and then flitted right away!)

Wall of Birds: Red Winged Blackbirds, Pocosin Lakes Refuge

The Pride of America: Bald Eagle! The Bald Eagle, chosen as a National Emblem in 1782, is protected under the Federal Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act.

1– When a hummingbird sips nectar from a flower, it also picks up pollen, a fine powder that helps plants reproduce. The pollen sticks to the bird’s feathers and is transferred to the next flower the flier visits. 2– Frogs feast on slugs, snails, and other creepy-crawlies that harm garden plants by munching on leaves. 3– These nut gatherers bury their treats to eat later, but they don’t always remember their hiding spots. The nuts and seeds squirrels forget about sprout as new plants. Photographs By Matt Jeppson/Shuttestock

1– Every fall, millions of Monarch Butterflies make a nearly 2,500-mile journey to the mountains of Mexico to mate. During their return trip, females lay their eggs on milkweed plants.

The insect is thought to mimic the pipevine swallowtail, which birds avoid because of its bitter taste. And the red-spotted’s larvae look like bird droppings!

The Pipevine has a Unique and Interesting Looking Flower

The Pipevine has a Unique and Interesting Looking Flower shows readers the flowers of the elegant pipevine or calico flower. It also discusses that this is an invasive species in Florida and how the author plans to deal with that.

Pipevine Flower Pipevine (Aristolochia spp.) also known as birthwort or Dutchman’s pipe are climbing vines that can be found in a large variety of climates and habitats. The type that grows on my property happens to be (Aristolochia littoralis). It’s also sometimes called elegant pipevine or calico flower. It’s native to South America, but it commonly grows here in Florida. It is considered…

Aristolochia californica

This vine with its unusual flowers is native to northern California, and plants in its genus are sometimes referred to as “Dutchman’s Pipe vines” because of the shape of the flowers. The plant serves as a host to the pipevine swallowtail butterfly, whose caterpillars are avoided by potential predators because of the toxins they ingest from eating the plant’s leaves.
