Picture by . SantiMB .
I have returned of vacations. I will be browsing your photostreams gradually. I have driven 5,000 kms. in my car by the South of Spain, and the consequence has been one,300 photos. It will be difficult to choose which to publish, due to the fact I like all of them…

Ya he regresado de vacaciones. Iré visitando vuestras galerías poco a poco. En total he recorrido five.000 kms. en coche por el Sur de España, y el resultado han sido unas 1.300 fotos. Será difícil escoger cuáles publicar, porque me gustan todas…

ENGLISH
The carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus) is a flowering plant
native to the Near East and has been cultivated for the very last 2,000
years. Its unique organic flower color was pinkish-hued, but later on,
cultivars of other colours, such as red, white, yellow and green,
have been produced. The carnation is the national flower of Spain.

Though initially utilized to the species Dianthus
caryophyllus, the identify Carnation is also typically applied to some of
the other species of Dianthus, and more specifically to backyard
hybrids in between D. caryophyllus and other species in the genus.

Some scholars think that the title &quotcarnation&quot comes from
&quotcoronation&quot or &quotcorone&quot (flower garlands), as it was 1 of the
flowers employed in Greek ceremonial crowns. Other folks believe the title stems
from the Latin &quotcarnis&quot (flesh), which refers to the authentic colour
of the flower, or incarnacyon (incarnation), which refers to the
incarnation of God created flesh.

CASTELLANO
El clavel es una planta herbácea perteneciente a la familia de las
cariofiláceas (Dianthus caryophyllus), de one m de altura con
hojas angostas, opuestas y envainadoras y flores vistosas.

En principio, el clavel silvestre florece durante la primavera y
verano. Pero lo más standard es encontrar el clavel cultivado, pues se
puede hacer florecer de manera artificial cuando se quiera, incluso en
pleno invierno. Lo único que requieren para su desarrollo es una buena
tierra y abundante riego. El sol les debe dar de lleno. El clavel es
una planta de conocido uso ornamental.

Como especie aromática, se deduce que en su composición debe hallarse
una esencia muy olorosa, y en efecto se la puede encontrar, aunque en
cantidades pequeñas, distintas para las diferentes variedades de
claveles que existen. En las partes herbáceas de la planta también es
posible hallar saponinas y algunos principios activos de menor
importancia.

En cuanto a sus usos medicinales, poco hay que decir. En realidad, no
es una planta que se caracterice por poseer intensas propiedades
medicinales, pues más bien su principal empleo se enmarca dentro del
campo de la perfumería.

Si se incluye aquí es porque antaño se usaba un agua de clavel como
colirio para el lavado de ojos cansados o dañados. Este uso es un
claro ejemplo de la teoría del signo: en efecto, antiguamente a la
flor del clavel se la comparaba con los ojos, ya que en el centro de
la misma aparecen ciertas pintas que se parecen a la niña de los ojos
de ahí se propuso el extraer el espíritu del clavel, para calmar ojos
cansados o dañados, y se empezó a preparar el agua destilada de
claveles de jardín.

El arsenal de colirios que existen en nuestras farmacias cubre todo el
espectro de posibles enfermedades oculares, y el proceso tecnológico
de fabricación cumple las más estrictas exigencias en cuanto a control
de calidad, pues hay que tener sumo cuidado con los medicamentos
oculares por el peligro que entraña una posible contaminación del
producto.

Hoy en día el clavel no se administra más que en forma de esencia y
sin uso terapéutico, simplemente como cosmético o producto de
perfumería.

Rosebud from rose from neighbor


Image by Martin LaBar
A neighbor gave us a cutting of this rose. My wife has nursed it along, and these are evidence of her work, from April 2009. There’s some stunning detail in the larger sizes, and, of course, even in this size, such as the hairs/bristles on the sepals. I have no idea what the triangle-shaped object is.

I’ve been attempting to use Spanish tags, and want to note that Spanish has distinct words for leaf bud and flower bud. Capullo is the word for flower bud.

Isn’t God a fantastic artist?

Eine Anektode über den Dichter Rainer Maria Rilke

&quotBereit für die Berührung im Herzen&quot

Der Dichter Rainer Maria Rilke ging in Paris regelmäßig über einen Platz, an dem eine Bettlerin saß, die um Geld anhielt. Ohne aufzublicken, ohne ein Zeichen des Bittens oder Dankens zu äußern, saß die Frau immer am gleichen Ort. Rilke gab nie etwas, seine französische Begleiterin warf ihr häufig ein Geldstück hin.

Eines Tages fragte die Französin verwundert, warum er ihr nichts gebe. Rilke antwortete: „Wir müssen ihrem Herzen schenken, nicht ihrer Hand.“ Wenige Tage später brachte Rilke eine eben aufgeblühte weiße Rose mit, legte sie in die offene abgezehrte Hand der Bettlerin und wollte weitergehen. Da geschah das Unerwartete: Die Bettlerin sah auf, sah den Geber, erhob sich mühsam von der Erde, tastete nach der Hand des fremden Mannes, küsste sie und ging mit der weißen Rose davon.

Eine Woche lang war die Alte verschwunden, der Platz, an dem sie vorher gebettelt hatte, blieb leer. Nach acht Tagen saß sie plötzlich wieder an der gewohnten Stelle. Sie war stumm wie damals, wiederum nur ihre Bedürftigkeit zeigend durch die ausgestreckte Hand. „Aber wovon hat sie denn in all den Tagen gelebt?“, fragte die Französin. Rilke antwortete: „Von der Rose …“
