Global Sunrise

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


early winter morning <>
some unexpected spots
sparkle in sunrays


early winter morning <>
a heavenly spotlight
brightens the valley


Greetings from a super morning in Japan, pink clouds over the valley, the low sunrays fingering around, finding spot after spot ...

.................................


mirrored Pacific
his sunset rising
in her east



Good morning Gabi... and sleep tight!

Broken Branch

broken branch -
all alone
by the roadside

sweeping fallen leaves -
the wind sweeps
faster



autumn storm -
all the leaves flutter
from the pile

Just back inside from a vain bout with the leaves, trying to clean the gutters ...

Trumpet Flower

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


autumn deepens -
the soundless sound of
a pink trumpet

Angel's Trumpet Flower エンセルス・トランペット
kigo for late summer

The species name is Datura candida, from the Solanaceae family (same as the potato). The plant contains the drug scopolamine, which is used in medicine to control motion-sickness.
A low-growing wild variant is called “sacred datura” or “loco weed,” which is still used by some southwest Native Americans as a hallucinogen in religious rituals. Cattle ranchers are careful to keep their livestock away from poisonous loco weed. Many people know the trumpet flower from a famous painting by Georgia O’Keeffe.

In Japan, there are various names for this flower, which originates in South Asia. It was introduced to Japan as a medicinal plant during the Edo period. It might grow as much as 2 meters in hight and flowers from Summer to late autumn. From the leaves a medicine for asthma and coughing is produced.


Trumpet Flower, Kodachi Choosen Asagao
"Tree-like Korean Morning Glory"

コダチチョウセンアサガオ(学名:Brugmansia x candida ) 朝鮮朝顔
キダチチョウセンアサガオと似ており、花は白色または黄色が多く、ガクの先端は2~3深裂して角ばらない。一般にはガクの先端は見分けにくいため、いずれもエンゼルス・トランペットと呼ばれる。漢字で書くとキダチチョウセンアサガオもコダチチョウセンアサガオも「木立朝鮮朝顔」となる。最近では観賞用として広く植えられているが、これらも有毒である。

February is on its way out with Bangalore getting as hot as an oven! But the gift from nature to endure the heat is the golden yellow abundance of the Tabebuia chrysantha that is flowering all over the City, gladdening the tired eye.

Also known as the Trumpet Tree, this Brazilian beauty has several species which range from northern Mexico to northern Argentina and central Venezuela. In Bangalore it starts amazing everyone with its turmeric yellow dazzle in the oddest places. Venkatappa Art Gallery has a grove of this gorgeous, ornamental tree which is useful for bees with its honey plants and humming birds love it as well. It will blossom only during February and March.

Moonflower, Angel's Trumpet
Datura suaveolens


A soft-wood, fast-growing shrub from 4-12 feet (1.3 - 4 metres) in height, it bears large, pendant, trumpet-shaped flowers. The white variety is very sweetly scented in the evening.

This is a common, but very poisonous garden plant. It is available in a variety of different colours, including white, yellow and pink, and in single and double forms.

~ John Karmali and Camerapix, 1988, The Beautiful Plants of Kenya
