#gilia capitata

Meadow is going hard rn!!

Shooting with our new green-screen techniques, where we put a green sheet behind the flower. Now we can replace the background with imagery from around the world: The Taj Mahal, a tornado, a grocery store, the Marianas trench, etc. But then we looked at the background without the green screen. We fired the special effects coordinator and went into the garden and took some pictures all by ourselves.

Bluefield Gilia.

Blue-Headed Gilla..Gilia capitata..

[zriviepotions]

Pringrape → Globe gilia*

Not a real thing, but the flowering part looks a bit like globe gilia (Gilia capitata).

In Polish, “Siężygron,” which doesn’t seem to be a real thing either.

English book: “Not far from them grew reachcluster, an antidote to every known toxin and venom.” (The Voice of Reason 6).

If we’re talking natural venom remedies, onion and garlic both have globe-like clusters of blooms and have historically been used as a treatment for snake bites.

A small carpenter bee (Ceratina sp.) on globe gilia (Gilia capitata). A lovely wildflower native to much of western North America from Alaska to Mexico, it really shines in mass plantings where it will adorn itself with a diverse plethora of pollinators. ~~~~~~~~~~~~#pollinators #ceratina #smallcarpenterbee #giliacapitata #globegilia https://www.instagram.com/p/BnOsCxdnEwK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=6zrwjzf2s6ao
