Spanish verison of "ode to some yellow flowers" by pablo neruda?

"Oda a Unas Flores Amarillas"





Contra el azul moviendo sus azules,


el mar, y contra el ecielo,


unas flores amarillas.





Octubre llega.





Y aunque sea


tan importante el mar desarrollando


su mito, su misión, su levadura,


estalla


sobre la arena oro


de una sola


planta amarilla


y se amarran


tus ojos


a la tierra,


huyen del magno mar y sus latidos.





Polvo somos, seremos.


Ni aire, ni fuego, ni agua


sino


tierra,


sólo tierra


seremos


y tal vez


unas flores amarillas.

Spanish verison of "ode to some yellow flowers" by pablo neruda?
ODA AL LIMÓN





De aquellos azahares


desatados


por la luz de la luna,


de aquel


olor de amor


exasperado,


hundido en la fragancia


salió


del limonero el amarillo,


desde su planetario


bajaron a la tierra los limones.


¡Tierna mercadería!


Se llenaron las costas,


los mercados,


de luz, de oro


silvestre,


y abrimos


dos mitades


de milagro,


ácido congelado


que corría


desde los hemisferios


de una estrella,


y el licor más profundo


de la naturaleza,


intransferible, vivo,


irreductible


nació de la frescura


del limón,


de su casa fragante,


de su ácida, secreta simetría.


En el limón cortaron


los cuchillos


una pequeña


catedral,


el ábside escondido


abrió a la luz los ácidos vitrales


y en gotas


resbalaron los topacios,


los altares,


la fresca arquitectura.


Así, cuando tu mano


empuña el hemisferio


del cortado


limón sobre tu plato


un universo de oro


derramaste,


una


copa amarilla


con milagros,


uno de los pezones olorosos


del pecho de la tierra,


el rayo de la luz que se hizo fruta,


el fuego diminuto de un planeta.





Pablo Neruda (1904-1973), Tercer libro de las odas. Buenos Aires, 1957


Information about yellow tulip flower?

Specifically, i want to know the scientific name and the meaning behind "the yellow tulip". I've tried wikipedia and a bunch of google searches, but I just can't seem to find the information I want about them.


Any flower gardeners out there that can help me out?

Information about yellow tulip flower?
Tulip (Yellow) - There's Sunshine in Your Smile





http://www.feldis.com/s/meaning.htm
Reply:i'm pretty darn sure the scientific name for it is: tulipa fosteriana. which is "golden Emperor" aka "Golden purissima" aka "yellow emperor"





the meaning: it's evolved from "hopeless love" to "cheerful thoughts and sunshine"
Reply:Tulipa x hybrida or Tulipa sp. If you mean just basic tulips, their ancestry is so mixied up , and been domesticated so long (1500's, at least), that there's no species, as we normally think of it.

I need to identify a yellow flower that blooms at night?

The flowers open fairly rapidly and close in the morning. It also resembles a tobacco plant. I live on the SC coast.

I need to identify a yellow flower that blooms at night?
I think you have a Datura but which one I don't know. Mine is pure white and opens just as you describe and quite fragrant. And yes, it is related to tobacco. If there are any fruits or pods on the plant they should be spiny. See link below for a more complete discussion.
Reply:It could be an Evening Primrose. The flower is about the size of a quarter and has a sweet smell. The flower has 4 petals. A picture would help make the i.d. easier.
Reply:not sure
Reply:there is a plan ti know as " four o'clock"


it has blooms like tobacco ( nicotina)


blooms in the afternoon and closes again . Also come in dark pink
Reply:four o'clocks. they grow like crazy! they can grow very fast and do best in the shade or in cooler places like beside a basement or under trees. they constantly drop seeds. if you plant just one in the spring, you will have a garden by summer. they really are pretty and make up for bushes that take a long time to grow and four o'clocks do great against blights and diseases. they dont really have a smell but they are a wonderful little starter plant and can grow very tall. good luck with them :) they are hard to kill too. so if you mow over them and didnt mean to, they will be back.


Why are the leaves on my geranium flower turning yellow?

i have always heard to pull off the leaves when they turn yellow and new ones will grow back. well, i have plenty of flower blooms, but no leaves, and it doesn't look like any new leaves are coming in. any suggestions?

Why are the leaves on my geranium flower turning yellow?
It could be you have been over-watering or perhaps you over-fertilized and burned the leaves.
Reply:check the soil and the roots of the plants. Two problems, one too much water, two bugs. if the soil is too wet let it dry out some before watering again. If its bugs there are several products on the market. Also the nitrogen in the soil may be too rich. I use miracle grow potting soil that has a balance of nitrogen in the soil.
Reply:you are watering the flowers to much
Reply:Needs feeding and probably does not have good drainage. Make sure there is drain holes in the bottom of the pot. Feed with Miracle grow, they love it and it will grow leaves back. Good Luck.
Reply:could be lack of sufficient light or water. Geraniums usually can tolerate a lot of neglect - they do best that way. If you fertilise too much you get leaves instead of flowers. your plant seems to b the opposite so I think it could be either the light situation or water.





hope that helps
Reply:I believe you are over-watering the poor thing.

The flowers have fallen off my orchid & the stem is a little yellow, have I killed it? How do I make it better

There really isn't enough information to be able to tell you what is wrong. It could be that your orchid is finished flowering and the stalk is dying back in which case you can just cut it off. It could be that you are over watering it in which case you need to cut back on the water. If the leaves of your orchid are wrinkled and creased as well as the stalk turning yellow then you are not watering enough. We need more information on how you've been caring for it and if you've done anything different to it lately like repotting, moving it to a new location, or feeding it. We also need to what kind of Orchid it is to be able to help you better.

What is the name of a yellow flower or any flower that closes immediately when wet (rain)?

just wanted to know, because i remember seeing one when i was very young. thanks

What is the name of a yellow flower or any flower that closes immediately when wet (rain)?
Many flowers close at dusk as the light fades or temperatures cool off. For those that are light sensitive they will similarly close with heavy cloud cover. The Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus actually worked out a clock based upon flowers to tell time.


The scarlet pimpernel opens its flower at 8:00 AM and closes it at 2:00 PM. The dandelion opens at 9:00 AM and closes at 5:00 PM. The morning glory opens at 10:00 and closes at dusk. The water lily opens at noon and closes at 2:00 PM. Goatsbeard opens at noon and closes at 6:00 pm. California poppy opens at 1:00 PM and closes at dusk. Chicory opens at 2:00 PM and closes at 5:00 PM. Four-o'clock opens at 4:00 PM and evening primose opens at 6:00 PM.





This is the origin of the weather saying:


When the pink-eyed pimpernel closes in the day time it is a sign or rain.


Pimpernel, pimpernel, tell me true


Whether the weather will be fine or no;


No heart can think, no tongue can tell,


The virtues of the pimpernel


Folk lore journal from 1889





Closed is the pink-eyed pimpernel:


`Twill surely rain;


I see with sorrow,


Our jaunt must be put off to-morrow.





Anagallis arvensis is the Scarlet Pimpernel. The petals are very sensitive, the flowers closing at once if the sky becomes overcast and threatens rain. Typically opening between eight and nine in the morning and shutting up before three o'clock in the afternoon.





The flowers of Oxalis martiana open in the morning and close in the afternoon also.





Tulips %26amp; crocus close when it gets cooler primarily but they also respond to light this way.


The purpose of closing may be to protect the reproductive organs when the day pollinators are not available. Bees for example need bright, warm weather to fly.

Reply:Our deer seem to eat everything!!!! Try going to a local nursery, they will be knowledgable about this. Or, give them a call. I have decided hanging baskets are the only way to go for us.
Reply:There is no plant Deer won't eat. You can purchase "Big Cat" (lion and tiger) manure from the garden centers. This practice was discovered in China and is just now catching on in the states. They have learned that spreading this "dung" around your property scares off Rabbits, Raccoons, Groundhogs, and even Deer.
Reply:Try marigolds. Also, we buy Irish Spring soap and cut it into chunks. Put the chunks in cheesecloth and hand from a pole in your garden (do several in your garden, not just one). They don't like the smell of Irish Spring so they stay away. Also, I've heard if you put human hair in your garden the deer will stay away. Ask you beautician next time you get your hair cut if you can have her clippings.
Reply:I plant marigolds and the deer here (upper MI) won't touch them. I also use Liquid Fence around my garden and flower beds and that keeps those pesty deer away. Keeps the other plant munching critters away too.

We ate a couple of times at this restaurant called Il Camino between Terni and Spoleto in Umbria. One night they gave us a little thing of flowers.

Reply:i think i know what your talking about. but its not clear, i mean these flowers you were given were edible or non edible? the ones i think you are talking about are non edible are given in some what like branches of them not one by one. the custom is that every woman is given one on the Day of the Women, which is celebrated i think in april, or around that period. so its common to see the ladies walking aroudn holding one on that special day. however, if i knew the name of the flower, id tell you, but if it comes to mind later on ill write it down.
Reply:the only flower i can think of, which is also yellow and a little bit poofy is taraxacum. which is eatable in salads and soups but mostly it's leaves are tasty. try to be more specific explaining how is that flower, maybe i will remember something ells, if no, i can cheek it for u in here.

Nice Nasturtiums





Watercress is cultivated mainly in Southern England and can also be found near fast-flowing streams. It is available all year round and its pungent peppery flavour adds a kick to salads.








* maybe its erba iva??? that is a small small flower yellow and wight, it has a great tast, bitter-sweet and u can put it in soups and salads and mostly fix a great alpin tea?

Do hydrangeas come in yellow?

What other yellow flowers would you recommend? for a summer wedding?





I personally love hydrangeas because they make powerful statements as centerpieces


what do you think?

Do hydrangeas come in yellow?
I love hydrangeas and have them all over my yard. I've seen white ones and the standard "depends on the acidity of the soil" ones (blue, purple, pink) .. but I've never seen a yellow one unless they were tinted (like green carnations).





They're gorgeous no matter what color they are!





Buttercups (daffodils) are lovely yellow flowers.


Black-eyed susans, tulips, roses ...
Reply:NO. There color is between white, pink and blue and shades in between. The color is determined by the soil pH. so your pink hydrangea could under the right conditions become purple to blue, or the other way around.


I can't think of any yellow flowers for a wedding arrangement
Reply:I've never seen yellow hydrangeas. They come in a range of colors starting with blue, through violet, rose, and pale pink that almost verges on white, but they are almost always in the red-blue spectrum. You might be able to dye some yellow if you start with the almost-white hydrangea.


There are all sorts of day lilies in yellow, daisies, roses, and white lilacs can be dyed yellow.


Does a Dandelion start out as a yellow flower or the poofy seed thing kids make wishes with?

my one friend just will not believe me that it starts out as a yellow flower. and i just want to know which one of us is right. so like right as it grows out of the ground is a dandelion a yellow flower OR the poofy seed thing?

Does a Dandelion start out as a yellow flower or the poofy seed thing kids make wishes with?
It comes up as a tight green bud, opens into a bright yellow flower, then the flower withers and the poofy seed things develop, ready to carry the seeds somewhere else so the whole process can begin again.


You are 100% correct in this.


Where do you live that there aren't dandelions around to demonstrate? In our yard, they grow year round and they are very vigorous in their growth.

Reply:The yellow flower is waiting to be pollinated. Then the " poofy " thing are the seeds of the plant being distributed.
Reply:The normal development of any flower is sprouting, budding, blooming (the flower) and going to seed.





The flower is used to attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. They move from flower to flower and fertilize the female blooms with the male pollen. When that's done, the seeds can develop.





Dandelion seeds have "wings" because they are meant to be spread by the wind. Milkweed and yucca plants do the same thing. Cottonwood trees also have them.





Did you know that every part of the dandelion plant is edible? The young leaves can be added to salads. The blooms (flowers) can be fried in butter. You can even make dandelion wine from the plants. DO NOT DO THIS UNLESS YOU KNOW NO ONE HAS SPRAYED WEED KILLER ON THEM.
Reply:One of those seeds becomes a yellow flower and than turns into a bunch of seeds.

Does there exist a tree that only has flowers and no leaves?

Down in Puerto Rico (tropical) Ive seen a tree in a few ocasions that never has leaves. It only has this big yellow flowers (like big roses, but it has a hibiscus look too) at the end of its branches. I wonder does it ever have leaves.

Does there exist a tree that only has flowers and no leaves?
Some plants don't have leaves, but instead have photosynthetic stems. The cactus is an example of this kindof a plant. It also uses the succulent stem to store water. Parasitic plants also often do not have leaves or the the leaves are rudimentary and not used for photosynthesis. They extract food from other plants and do not need to make their own food.
Reply:I agree with christy. it has flowers and no leaves

Flowers that have red AND yellow petals? UK?

I know tulips can have but I'm looking for something other than tulips really as they're my favourite flowers and I'm looking for a flowery gift for my mother-in-law. According to father-in-law she only really likes flowers that have red and yellow petals together, at the same time, lol. Nothing like an awkward woman is there? Thanks in advance guys.

Roses are frequently bicolor with red %26amp; yellow. Look to Cambridgeshire, Cha Cha, or the beautiful old single rose Austrian Copper. To add frgrance look for Shiela's Perfume, Bella'roma or French Perfume.

There is a miniature called baby Masquerade for small size.


Rio Samba both colors.

What about a rose that not only has red and yellow together but changes the amount of red and yellow as the blossom ages. Color changing has been used to great effect in some roses producing staged color shifts in roses like Joseph Coat, Mutabilis, Masquerade, Double Delight, or Flutterby that begin yellow and shift to cerise tones.

I need recommendations for flowers for wedding bouquets. The colors are yellow and cream.?

I already know that I want daises, daffodills, and cream colored roses. I don't know what else, though. I was planning on going with artificial flowers to save money, and so I can keep them. So whatever suggestions you may have, please let me know!

I need recommendations for flowers for wedding bouquets. The colors are yellow and cream.?
Lilies would be gorgeous in that bouquet as you've planned it, there are several styles, stephanotis is another you might try (a bit stronger scent and lovely). Dendrobium orchids are another possibility.





Be sure to make a "throw away" bouquet for the bride so that you can keep the one you carried down the aisle.





Artificial flowers can definitely save you a great deal in cost and if arranged artistically you can't tell the difference in pictures or from the audience. If you live in a large city or near one (L.A. or San Francisco, NY, etc) you could also try a flower warehouse.


Be sure to have your bouquet dried so you can preserve it.





Congrats and best wishes.

Reply:Luckily, you can find great flowers at craft stores. Often times they look very natural and are very reasonably priced. An option for you, due to the fact that you want daisies and daffodils, may be to create a natural bouquet. Daisies and daffodils are often regarded as "wildflowers". Begin the bouquet with the daisies and daffodils since you know that you want these included. Next, choose your roses - a tea rose would compliment the other flowers better than a larger bloom. For fillers, you could choose sprays of grasses in deep greens with white or gold highlights. Also, stems and/or sprays with berries is a beautiful compliment to your bouquet. A deep blue or violet would be perfect with the degrees of white in your daisies and roses. Also, you could incorporate vines, such as jasmine and honeysuckle to give the bouquet a wispy, romantic feel. Due to the type of flowers you began with, I would recommend hand tying the bouquet by wrapping a gold or ivory ribbon around the mid-section of the stems.





In addition, for bridesmaids, there are some excellent options. One large, long stemmed gerber daisy with a bow tied on the stem would be beautiful.





I hope this helps. Congratulations! Don't be afraid to use your imagination or experiment.
Reply:Maybe try to incorporate another colour other than yellow and white so that if the bridesmaids are wearing one of those colours, the flowers won't completely blend into their dresses in the pictures. A nice colour to go with yellow and cream are different shades of purple so you could add a few flowers in that way.
Reply:My advice is to go look at craft stores for the flowers you want in your boquet and then get some ideas on how you want to arrange them my mom grandmother and I put together my sister's boquet as well as the ones for the bridesmaids. I believe that the more you do yourself the more beautiful it will be. Good luck! And congratulations!


What type of plant grows on vines and produces lots of yellow flowers in the spring and looks like this?

This vine/shrub grows in our backyard. It's currently producing lots of yellow flowers and I have seen neighbors with them growing in their yards, so it has to be a popular plant. Below is current pictures of the plant in my backyard. I live in Lafayette, Louisiana...which is about 40 miles from the gulf coast.

... two-pronged and one-pronged spines has yellow flowers. It is crossed with a two-pronged cactus with purple flowers (heterozygous). What are the phenotypes of the offspring and in what proportion?

Help!! In this same cactus, purple flowers are dominant to yellow flowers. A cactus that has both...?
If I am understanding you correctly.





Purple cactus (heterozygote for the dominant purple flower )is crossed with a recessive yellow flower.





if P = purple and p = yellow





Pp x pp





offspring = Pp, Pp, pp and pp.





Phenotype would then = 2 purple and 2 yellow.
Reply:Assuming that these two are not linked genes and segregate separately: Two-pronged one-pronged purple, two-pronged purple, one-pronged purple, two-pronged one-pronged yellow, two-pronged yellow, and one-pronged yellow


Do dandelions really change from the little yellow flower to the white globular flower?

I always thought a dandelion was the little yellow flower, and that the white round one was the one where you blew off all the petals and made a wish was a completely different flower. Are they really the same flower?





If so, why and how do they change?

Do dandelions really change from the little yellow flower to the white globular flower?
They are the same. In dandelion each "petal" is actually an individual flower. Once each flower is fertilized the "petals" die away and the little tuft forms so that the seeds can be blown away to grow elsewhere.
Reply:the yellow flower is the immature seedpod/fruit and when it matures the seedpod dries and falls off leaving the fluff ball/ovary and the process is called turning to seed where those white fluffy floaters contain a seed that would grow into another plant if it landed in a spot with all the right variables to gernimate it. it's designed for aerial transport.

How do you know when green squash is ready for picking it has large leaves and i see these yellow flowers?

live in desert palmsprings planted 2 months ago

How do you know when green squash is ready for picking it has large leaves and i see these yellow flowers?
Some squash take up to 90 days to mature. Yellow Flowers should be present at the very start of fruit production. Wait for the foliage to die back some, the squash will consume the energy from the leaves. Pick when it can be dented by your fingernail. Happy Gardening~
Reply:what type of squash? Some can be picked whenever you want, or let them grow to be huge. Like zucchini -- they can be picked at 3 inches or 12 inches. Delicata -- the same way.
Reply:the yellow flowers are blooms and will make new squash you can start trying them probably at around 6 or 8 inches if they get too big they will be tough

What colors complement lavender and pale yellow?

I am repainting my house, and the main colors will be a very light, lavender-like purple and a very pale, soft yellow (I'm a fan of purple and yellow flowers). However, I don't want the entire house looking like purple and yellow, but I can't decide what other colors will match (for trim, closed-off rooms, et cetera). Any ideas on what colors might go well with these?

What colors complement lavender and pale yellow?
I think a green would look great with them. You like purple and yellow flowers...get the color of stems or grass green. Maybe a forest green or hunter green would work.
Reply:light blue
Reply:a lighter shade of brown would look really nice with lavender and pale yellow.
Reply:Choose colors that you like to look at.Sage or light green would be nice as well as a creamy white.Sounds as though you like soft pastels.A light blue would look good as well.Nothing wrong with keeping the same colors throughout the house,just change the accents colors in each room.





It works out well to choose three colors of the same value and use these throughout the house.
Reply:white or a muted gray.
Reply:trim i would do an antique white and the other room i would do a peach color it goes well with the two other colors.


Should I remove the male flowers from my cucumber plants and how do I know which is which?

I have two burpless cucumber plants they have yellow flowers close to the stem at the bottom of the plant and what look like mini cucumbers with flowers on the end that havent flowered yet. I have been told I have to remove the male flowers or the fruit will be bitter but which is which as if I remove the wrong one there will be no cucumbers. Please help!

Should I remove the male flowers from my cucumber plants and how do I know which is which?
The male flowers have no mini cucumbers and carry pollen, the female flowers have mini cucumbers and no pollen.





If you allow the fruit to be fertilised and produce seeds, they tend to be bitter. On the other hand, in several places I have seen it said that the flowers have to be fertilised, or they will drop off!





Have you ever bought a cucumber that doesn't have soft white seeds in the middle? I think they do need fertilising and that, perhaps, older varieties of cucumber did tend to become bitter.





If you leave all the flowers on, you will certainly get cucumbers!
Reply:The male flowers are the ones WITHOUT the mini cucumbers under the flowers.
Reply:If you are really good at removing the male flowers you will get no cucumbers. They are an essential part of the equation, have nothing to do with bitterness which can be avoided by growing the right varieties. You must be thinking about something else where you do want to remove the male flowers and prevent pollination :-)
Reply:I wouldn't worry too much about removing the male flowers to prevent bitter cukes. That sort of problem is usually caused by the plant not getting enough water while the fruit is growing.





As long as you keep the plant well watered, this shouldn't be an issue. They need about an inch of water a week, possibly more if you're living in a very warm place.
Reply:they need the mail plaint to be pollenatid
Reply:The female are the ones with the mini cucumber and they will only turn into cucumbers once they are pollinated. Bees usually do this by collecting pollen from the male flower and then going to the female flower. You can also pollinate it by using your finger or a Q-tip if you don't have alot of honey bees around. If you remove the male flowers, you will never have any cucumbers.
Reply:Lift their little leaves, and look to see if they are an innie or an outie
Reply:as usual you have to remove the male from the equation to get real results!!! Just look for the one doing nothing much but acting like they are doing it all shouldnt be too hard. good luck
Reply:the male flowers are on the end of stems with no swelling (fruit). with cucumbers, courgettes and marrows you would normally remove the male flower, if you dont you will still get the fruit but it may taste bitter.
Reply:Female plants generally have one larger reproductive body, known as a pistol, in the middle of them, which should be smooth and more or less free of pollen.





Male plants, on the other hand, should have multiple stamens, which are smaller than the pistol and are covered on the ends with a pretty solid coat of pollen.
