Grey, gray but different

°
Let's find colours, one by one.
Yes, in the boring garden. So sorry about that.


Grey or gray?

Grey and gray are two different spellings of the same word. 
Gray is more common in the U.S., while grey is more common in other 
English-speaking countries. In proper names—like Earl Grey tea 
and the unit Gray, among others—the spelling stays the same, and 
they need to be memorized.



Most of the cameras have this option to play with one colour only.


Poppies!


Ficus elastica.

Finnisch für Anfänger:

KUMIPUU = Gummibaum / rubber tree



Same, same but different.


Strelizien, always, I tell you always attractive.


Weed, just weed.


Osteospermum.

Remember:


The scientific name Osteospermum is derived from the Greek osteon (bone) 
and Latin spermum (seed). It has been given several common names:  
African daisy, South African daisy, Cape daisy and blue-eyed daisy.
In Finnish: tähtisilmä.

Finnisch für Anfänger schon wieder:

TÄHTISILMÄ =  Kapkörbchen /blue-eyed daisy
TÄHTI = Stern / star
SILMÄ = Auge / eye


These you certainly recognize.


Pretty.


Spring time bush.


This season's last lemons.


Nispero. 

In my next posting promise to post pics with many, many and 
many colours. Those fabulous Majorcan colours.

BTW

Why not learn the British accent? Listen to this:
