Kissing the Brunfelsia, Good-bye。輕語: 「昨天.. 今天.. 明天..」吻別 _ Embrasser Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow‧Manacá de Cheiro‧Brunfelsia L. 1753



Brunfelsia Plum. ex. L. 1753

P.S.: Plum. for Charles Plumier (20 Apr. 1646- 20 Nov. 1704), French botanist, Franciscan monk and a pupil of Joseph Pitton de Tournefort (5 Jun. 1656- 28 Dec. 1708 _botaniste français ), who named the genus Plumeria Tourn. ex L. ( Frangipani ).

Brunfelsia uniflora (Pohl) D. Don 1829 syn.
Brunfelsia hopeana syn. Brunfelsia mutabilis

Manaca Rain Tree/ Manacá-de-cheiro/ Romeu e Julieta/

昨天今天明天 _ ( 台灣於1910年自新加坡引進 )

Brunfelsia, named for early German herbalist Otto Brunfels ( 1488- 23 Dec. 1534 「德國植物學之父」), whom Carl von Linné ( 1707- 1778) listed among the "Fathers of Botany".



Brunfelsia uniflora
aka "Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow" flowers from early spring to late autumn in subtropics, especially in the springtime. The flower opens in the morning and keeps fragrant all day, including days and nights, smelling exactly like Jasmine ( Jasminum officinale, not Jasminum sambac ). As vivid violet color fades to pure white over a period of three days, a single flower can exist for almost a week long and releases fragrance continuously somehow. On the last day, the smell of the flower disappeared; and it falling to the ground the next morning if was't fertilized.

♥ 愛 情 花 鳥 __ Je t'aime. Agapornis Selby. 1836 VS Agapanthus L'Hér. 1789 et "Langage des Fleurs" du Cartoon- "Hana No Ko LunLun"

.............................♥♥ Agapornis


Agapanthus africanus syn. Agapanthus umbellatus syn. Agapanthus orientalis, Les Liliacées de Pierre Joseph Redouté ( 10 Jul. 1759- 20 Jun. 1840 ). 57 x 37 cm, 1805- 1816

動物界 愛情鳥小鸚 屬名 Agapornis
字源: 希臘文 agapein (to love) + 拉丁文 ornis (bird).

means Bird of Love
-------------------------------------
.
植物界 愛情花百子蓮 屬名 Agapanthus
字源: 希臘文 agape (love) + anthos (flower)

means Flower of Love

俗名vs.學名 難 得 完 美 無 缺 !!.

Agapanthus Cultivar
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Agapanthus africanus. By Marianne North ( 24 Oct. 1830- 30 Aug. 1890 ), painted in Natal, South Africa. Link here..

*
Agapanthus L'Hér. 1788

African Lily/ Blue Lily/ Fleur d'Amour
愛 情 花/ 百子蓮/ 非洲百合/ アガパンサス

生 南非 為當地的特有種植物
..
林內 Linnaeus曾視 AgapanthusCrinum香殊蘭屬 的一員 ( Crinum africanum L. 1753 ). 而他的學生/植物探險家 Carl Peter Thunberg ( 11 Nov. 1743- 8 Aug. 1828 ) 一度 Agapanthus praecoxMauhlia linearis ( Mauhlia Dahl 1787 )
.
過去在稱呼 Agapanthus, 還有 Hyacinthus風信子屬 和 Tulbaghia紫嬌花屬 都曾適用在他身上. 後者在視 Agapanthus 為 Alliaceae蔥科 的分類上 亦是關係最近的植物. 更早之前 Agapanthus 則被視為 Liliaceae 百合科
.
由於 Agapanthus 空心型花柱 無異味 視為實心型花柱的 蔥科 有商榷空間; Amaryllidaceae*石蒜科 雖符合空心型花柱 特徵 但子房下位 和子房上位的 Agapanthus 亦不相襯。 近來有如 Wim Snoeijer ( Agapanthus: a revision of the genus, 2004 一書的作者 ) 主張 視 Agapanthus 為 Agapanthaceae*愛情花科 的單獨屬。

{ * 若採 APG II system 廣義觀點: Amaryllidaceae石蒜科 併入 Alliaceae蔥科, 並視 Agapanthus愛情花屬為 蔥科的一屬 }


P.S.
1. 身為林內的學生/門徒 天蠍座的 Carl Peter Thunberg 遠赴南非採集植物的成就 為自己贏得「南非植物學之父」名號. 遠征日本 身為第一個踏上日本的西方學者 一年多的時間 完成史上第一本敘述日本植物的科學著作《Flora Japonica》此對日本植物分類的啟蒙 被稱為「日本的林奈」。
Thunbergia erecta/ 立鶴花, Thunbergia grandiflora/ 大鄧伯花, Thunbergia alata/ 黑眼蘇珊 的屬名 Thunbergia Retz. 1780 由晚 林內 一輩的 瑞典自然學家 Anders Jahan Retzius ( 3 Oct. 1742- 6 Oct. 1821 )創設 紀念這位同輩。
原生日本 九州南部與琉球群島的 日本鐵砲百合/復活節百合/ Easter Lily/ テッポウユリ. Lilium longiflorum Thunb. 1794 即由 Thunbergia 於 1794 年發表命名
.
2. Agapanthus: a revision of the genus 一書 2004以修訂本出版 作者 Wim Snoeijer 荷蘭園藝家 書中對於 Agapanthus 原生種( 6種) /栽培種( 近600品種!) 的分類 敘述得相當認真 為此不可能的任務 做出完美註解 他亦是 Clematis鐵線蓮 專家.

3. 當地人拿 Agapanthus 的根 裝飾新娘頸圈 據信這有利生產 並拿此植物療效幫助分娩 此風俗和法國植物學家 Charles Louis L'Héritier de Brutelle (15 Jun. 1746- 18 Aug. 1800) 取 Agapanthus 為屬名 意指 " Flower of Love " 有關. 中文俗名 百子蓮 亦有和此類似 "多產"的聯想

♫ 羅 馬 假 期 _ Étienne Daho : Week-end à Rome du deuxième album "La Notte, La Notte", 1984

.


Étienne Daho ( 14 Jan. 1956- ) 唱歌
可以專心的被他的男聲吸引
Lloyd Cole ( 31 Jan. 1961- ) 也有此等能耐
後者多像世故的知識份子唱英文 人可以逐句跟著哼
Daho 唱法文 有摩登感 也有距離感 只緣身在此聲中 . .


Week-end à Rome
Week-end à Rome, tous les deux sans personne
Florence, Milan, s'il y a le temps
Week-end rital, en bagnole de fortune
Variette mélo à la radio
Week-end rital, Paris est sous la pluie Bonheur, soupirs, chanson pour rire Chanson ritale, humm, chanson ritale pour une escale
Week-end à Rome
Afin de coincer la bulle dans ta bulle
D'poser mon coeur bancal dans ton bocal, ton aquarium
Une escapade à deux, la pluie m'assomme
L'gris m'empoisonne, week-end à Rome
Pour la douceur de vivre, et pour le fun
Puisqu'on est jeunes, week-end rital
Retrouver le sourire, j'préfère te dire
J'ai failli perdre mon sang froid
Humm, j'ai failli perdre mon sang froid
Oh j'voudrais, j'voudrais
J'voudrais coincer la bulle dans ta bulle
Poser mon coeur bancal dans ton bocal, ton aquarium
Humm, chanson ritale pour une escale
Oh, j'voudrais tant
J'voudrais tant coincer la bulle dans ta bulle
Et traîner avec toi qui ne ressemble à personne.

Lenin Requiem, 1937
列 寧 安 魂 曲 ( 為列寧 22 Apr. 1870- 21 Jan. 1924 過世十周年而做 )
As Lenin was dying
(as they tell the story)
a soldier of the death watch
said to his comrades:
I didn't want to believe it!
I didn't want to believe it!
I went in there,
where he is lying,
and said to him:

"Ilyich, Ilyich!
The exploiters are coming!"
He didn't move.

Baritone Solo :
Now I know that he is dead.

Aria (Alto with Choir) :
When a good man wants to go away,
how can you hold him back?
Tell him
what he's needed for:
that will hold him,
that will hold him!
When a good man wants to go on,
how can you hold him back?
Tell him what he's needed for:
that will hold him,
that will hold him!
What could hold Lenin?

Baritone Solo :
The soldier thought:
When he hears
the exploiters are coming,
he might be sick,
and he will get up from his bed anyway.
Perhaps he will come on crutches.
Perhaps he will let himself be carried,
but he will get up and fight
against the exploiters,
against the exploiters.
The soldier knew
that Lenin, his whole life long,
had fought against the exploiters.

Recitative (Alto) :
And when the soldier was helping
storm the winter palace,
he wanted to go back home,
because on the fields
the winter crops were ready for planting.
Then Lenin said to him:
I know, but stay!
There are still exploiters,
and so long as exploitation still exists,
the fight against it must go on.
As long as it exists,
the fight against it must go on,
must go on.

Chorus :
Those who are weak don't fight.
Those who are stronger might fight
for an hour.
Those who are stronger still might fight
for many years.
The strongest fight
their whole life.
They are the indispensable ones.

In Praise of the Fighters (Ballad, baritone and choir) :
There are many who just get in the way:
it's better when they move on.
But when he's gone, he is missed.
He organizes his fight
around better wages,
for water to make tea,
for power in the state.
He asks of property:
Where do you come from?
He asks of opinions:
Whom do you benefit?
Where everyone else is silent
there will he speak,
and where oppression rules
and others blame it on fate,
he will name names.
Where he sits at table,
dissatisfaction sits there too,
the food will be bad
and the room will seem confining.
Wherever they chase him,
revolt will go with him,
and wherever they've chased him out,
unrest will remain behind anyway.

Alto Solo and Chorus :
Towards the time when Lenin died
and was missed,
the victory had been won by fighting,
but the country lay in ruins.
The masses had broken their chains
but the way forward was still in darkness.
When Lenin died,
the soldiers sat on the curbstones and wept,
and the workers ran from their machines
and shook their fists to the skies.
When Lenin died,
it was as if the tree and the leaves said,
I am leaving now.


Alto Solo, Baritone Solo and Chorus :
Since that time thirteen years have passed.
A sixth of the world is free from exploitation.
When they hear the warning—
the exploiters are coming!—
the masses rise up again
ready to fight.
Lenin is enshrined
in the great heart
of the working class.
He was our teacher.
He fought with us.
And is now enshrined

in the great heart
of the working class.

Gerhart Eisler (20 Feb. 1897- 21 Mar. 1968), a German politician, brother of Hanns Eisler, was also a Communist.
