[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Today it was raining in the citycenter and so boring. My wife called and told me that she and the children were bored and asked me that I could take to Uludağ them, I if my work doeasn't hard. I was getting bored too. I accepted this nice and exciting offer. And we went to Uludağ again. It was really a wonderful trip. We took lots of autumnal photograph. I will send them day by day.

Near Uludağ National Park entrance I found this alone and late flower. Its name is Colutea cilicia from Leguminosae (Fabaceae) Family. This species is endemic to Turkey and Cilica is ancient name (in Roman Period) of Mersin province. This plant was discovered here at first time, thus its name is C. cilicia.

Colutea is a genus of about 25 species of deciduous flowering shrubs from 2-5 m tall, native to southern Europe, north Africa and Asiaminor (Anatolia). The leaves are pinnate and light green to glaucous grey-green. The flowers are yellow to orange pea shaped and produced in racemes throughout the summer. These are followed by the attractive inflated seed pods which change from pale green to red or copper in colour.

Colutea arborescens, known as Bladder Senna, is indigenous to the Mediterranean; it has yellow flowers. It has a height and spread of up to 5 m. Other species include Colutea orientalis, with grey leaves and coppery flowers.

Medical Information and Use
The leaves are diuretic and purgative. The leaves are sometimes used as a substitute for senna as a laxative, though they are much milder in their action. The plant is rather unreliable when used medicinally so is rarely employed in herbalism. The seeds are emetic. They are also toxic.
-------------------
Yöremizde Patlangaç adıyla bilinen bu bitki Türkiye için endemik olup ilk kez Mersin yöresinde bulunmuştur. Yörenin antik adına izafeten de C. cilicia adı verilmiştir. Çiçekli, yaprak döken, 2-5 m. boylanabilen çalılar olup Güney Avrupa, Kuzey Afrika ve Anadolu'da doğal olarak yetişir. 25 kadar türü vardır. Birçok yerde çiçeklerinin güzelliği nedeni ile park ve bahçelerde yetiştirilir.
Tıbbi kullanım olarak yaprakları idrar söktürücü ve müshildir. Zaman zaman sinameki yerine kullanılabilir. Tohumları kusturucu etkiye sahip fakat zehirlidir. Tohumu kulanılmamalıdır.

Selam Fevzi,
Nice vivid colors, bright yellow. Great dark BG, making the flowers stand out. Sharp and neat image. Composition-wise: may be better if flowers at bottom-right are not cut in half.

Merhaba Fevzi Bey,
Özellikle ışıklandırma ve renklere bayıldım.Verdiğiniz bilgiler her zaman olduğu gibi ansiklopedi standartında.Ellerinize sağlık!

thanks, this is beautiful, I know this one from northern Israel, each flwoer looks like donald duck. Ori

Merhaba Fevzi Bey,
Harika bir türü enfes bir bakış açısı ve kadrajla sunmuşsunuz, üstelik bu kez keskinlik süperrr! Patlangaçtaki renk ve görünüm harika, arka planada bayıldım! Tebrikler bu enfes fotoğraf için!

Bu arada bahçemizin kapısı sonuna kadar açık! Ancak buraya gelince hayal kırıklığına uğramazsınız sanırım, bahçemizin özel bir ayrıcalığı yok ve bakımlıda değil açıkçası, anlayacağınız bahçemizdeki tüm konular hemen her benzeri bahçede bulunabilirler, sadece biraz daha dikkatli bakmak buna yeterli olacaktır.
Selamlar!
Ersin

En esta imagen amigo mío has logrado una diferencia enorme en nitidez con respecto a algunas anteriores.
Me agrada no sólo el DOF y la definición, sino también la limpieza y difusión del fondo.
Tal vez el encuadre no haya sido el más apropiado con un conjunto de flores recortadas, pero me alegra ver la mejora de la calidad de la presentación.
Un gran saludo... Ricardo

In this image my friend you has achieved an enormous difference in clarity with respect to some previous ones.
I not only like DOF and the definition, but also the cleaning and diffusion of the bottom.
Perhaps the framing has not been the most appropriate with a group of clipped flowers, but I am glad to see the improvement of the quality of the presentation.
Best greetings... Ricardo

Merhaba Abi,
Yine mükemmel bir kare. Üstelik bu kez netlik olağanüstü. Not ile birleşince yine kusursuz bir fotoğraf olmuş. Eline sağlık.
Selamlar

Merhaba Abi.
... MÜKEMMELLL!...
Selamlar
