The Erika Flower :)

in #nature6 years ago

Can you believe it? A flower is named after me :D Or maybe I'm named after this flower? Hmmm. I don't know :)

This is the Erica, which can be found in flower shops at the end of autumn or the beginning of winter. It's a genus of roughly 860 species.

I've been planning to buy one, maybe it's time to do it. It's lovely and can resist the cold. I don't like pink, but in this case I'm willing to make an exception.

Now that I'm writing this post, I thought it's time to look up the meaning of my name.

According to Wikipedia Erika means, “eternal ruler" or "ever powerful"! Wow! Do you see me as an eternal ruler?

beautiful flower....

Thank you!

Yup, when I read your nick I told myself "Oh, must be an eternal ruler", well, to be honest, an "eternal rulerH".

I thought those are Heathers!
Get it :D They are very pretty and can grow in a garden. I see them ere too in a shop, but I think it is just for one season. Don't think it will last the summer.
Or maybe I should try :p

They are Heathers but also Erika flowers 😄
You should try.

I found some wild growing ones! :D
No need to buy any now haha

Yay, happy to hear that! 😀

Beautiful flower like this

Nálunk most inkább a viola a domináns, de tavasszal, mikor megjön a meleg idő, fordul a kocka ;)

Meg beültetéskor nem gondoltuk, hogy ennyire megindul majd :)

Az árvácska! Szeretem :)

A viola az árvácska nálunk. Illetve mindkettő nevet használjuk rá :) Szóval ahogy a képen látszik, kicsit elméreteztük a komposzt mennyiségét a ládában :D

Lehet nálunk is, csak én nem tudom 🙂

I definitely think that you should have several of those! They are so lovely.... Just like you! Resteeming!

howdy there erikah! yes I see you as "eternal ruler" over your own destiny!

Wonderful photos, bytheway.

Thank you very much @janton, and sorry for the late reply.

lol. oh that's okay erikah, I'm always behind these days. God bless you!

God bless you too "howdy janton" and let me say how nice was your gesture of handing over you Engagement League prize to the second place winner! I really appreciate it, you have a good heart! ;)

howdy again erikah! Oh it was such a blessing to see the wonderful delishtreats be so thrilled with that top prize and then to see macoolette be so thrilled to be able to be in the top 10 and neither would have happened if I hadn't stepped aside so it was beautiful to see and I felt like I won just by being able to do that.

Giving is the best thing to do and the joy on other people's face is a true an beautiful reward! God bless you @janton!

you too erikah and thank you!

This is such a beautiful flower. What can I say? You MUST buy it and plant it in your garden. I would say this is a sign. 🙂
Unfortunately this is not a perennial plant. It can be however kept for two years in a row but it requires some efforts. It looks like we have a new project for Erika. And it seems it's quite fit since the girls named Erika are usually very protective and, by definition, they assume tasks with responsibility. Like a true ruler. 🙂

😁 Everyone is telling me to buy one. Maybe I'll buy one. Well see. Thank you Roxy for the nice comment.

It's really cool that you've got your own flower :) and that pink is beautiful, buy buy buy buy it! :DD

Thank you! Looks like I'm going to end up buying one 😀

So you've been persuaded :-D

Looks that way 🙂
