"Cottage Garden," Gustav Klimt, 1903-07.

It's Flower Friday! Today I've got a lovely scene from Gustav Klimt, who I've featured often. Although technically Art Nouveau, this scene is almost Abstract in its pile of riotous colors against a background of green. This isn't any kind of realist botanical work...this is COLOR.

In fact, it's almost a dream image, the perfect garden to relax in...

Happy Friday!

From a private collection.

@RobotDiver why not make your own?
There's an awesome book I can recommend.
Please get it at your local book shop, though. 😉
We've been slowly expanding our compost game over the last five years or so and our urban #garden has been feeding us and a whole bunch of #pollinators, #birds, and hedgehogs (who love eating slugs).
You can #compost everything from food waste to natural fibers like cotton and linen, all kinds of paper, and if your clothes are cotton, even dryer lint.
Hope this helps!

#InsectFriday Police Car Moth (named for a time and place when police cars were black and white!) Gnophaela vermiculata. Not super abundant, but not uncommon here and sometimes a number seen at once. This one was late July last year on Achillea/Yarrow in the yard or #garden (there are wild, cultivated and self sown hybrids around) #insects #inverts #NaturalGardening #pollinators #WildlifeGarden #Alberta #Canada

Dont "Moss" with colors:
If you concentrate on the simple things, you get something like this. A small cushion of moss in a flower pot photographed in the right light and then the white balance adjusted just a little. And I emphasize: a little bit. The colors come from the background and together they make a very nice combination, I think.

Wenn man sich auf die simplen Sachen konzentriert, kommt so etwas heraus. Ein kleines Moospolster in einem Blumentopf im richtigen Licht fotografiert und anschliessend den Weissabgleich ein kleines Bisschen angepasst. Und ich betone: ein kleines Bisschen. Die Farben stammen vom Hintergrund und zusammen ergibt das ganze eine sehr schöne Kombination, wie ich finde.
