The pure white flower of the Ghost Pipe (Monotropa uniflora). It is a true flower, despite its colourless appearance, and grows in woods often associated with beech trees. It has no chlorophyl - which accounts for its lack of colour and obtains nutrients by parasitizing certain soil fungi, a trick which allows it to grow in the very darkest shade of the woodland floor.
Peacock DSC 5592(1)(1)

A peacock butterfly. Although common in Europe this is very unusual in Canada. They arrived in the Montreal area in 1997, probably carried across the Atlantic on a container ship, and have slowly gained a foothold. The caterpillars eat nettles, another immigrant species that has flourished in its new home, and clearly the species can survive the harsh winters.

A detail from a gold covered sliding-screen in Nijo Castle, Kyoto, the Shogun's residence. The palace displays copies of the sliding screens to preserve the originals, however, the castle art gallery shows a few of the originals on a rotating basis. This is a detail from one of them. It is part of the Akikusa Senmenchirashi-zu, or “Folding Fans Falling on Fall Flowers” series from the Fourth Room of the Kuroshoin (Inner Audience Chamber) of Ninomaru-goten Palace. The full work features 46 fan-shaped paintings, each with a different design including landscapes, hibiscus blossoms, willow trees, and poetic themes. The screens are 400 years old, having been completed in 1626.
