The flowers are only about 1" diameter for the blooms, so this handheld shot of the stamens with pollen was a lucky bit of karma.Going through old images in my files yields fun treasures to work with when the time is right for editing. cobalt123 hat ein Foto gepostet: Seen out front of the Westin Hotel in LA near the LAX airport this last spring. These perky flowers caught my eye early one morning. This is the third of three images in a row, revisited after months and rediscovered for joyful editing.The term posie can also be posy and posey, popular for centuries. A wikipedia article about nosegays describes more: "A nosegay, posey (or posie, posy), flower bouquet or tussie-mussie is a small bunch of flowers, typically given as a gift. They have existed in some form since at least medieval times, when they were carried or worn around the head or bodice to mask the unpleasant smells of the time - literally, to keep the nose gay (to keep the nose happy). In their current form, they rose to popularity during the reign of Queen Victoria, from 1837 onwards, at which time the tussie-mussie became a popular fashion accessory.

" cobalt123 hat ein Foto gepostet: Pink flowers flourish in a wonderful array on this bush along Century Blvd in LA near the airport. These were captured on an early morning walk down the street in search of real coffee. The bush was unknown to me, but thanks to my flickr friends who give this azalea bush the ID. The flowers each measure about 1 1/4" in diameter, but don't they look like Easter Lilies in a way? cobalt123 hat ein Foto gepostet: Perky blooms in full glory, seen at the entrance to the Westin Hotel at LAX in Los Angeles. I don't know what these are, so an ID is appreciated. I now believe these are primrose flowers. There were many colors and varieties of these flowers, which must be hardy against peaks of high and low temperatures and the gusty winds near the airport.
