    Allium Ursinum: Capturing the Beauty of Wild Garlic at Culzean Castle — FOTD Aug 03

    Hi All 👋 My latest post for Cee’s FOTD.

    We’re now moving on to Culzean Castle & its grounds in Ayrshire for the next series of flowers & settings


    Allium ursinum, also known as wild garlic, ramsons, cowleekes, cows’s leek, cowleek, buckrams, broad-leaved garlic, wood garlic, bear leek, Eurasian wild garlic or bear’s garlic. It is native to Europe and Asia, where it grows in moist woodland. It is a wild relative of onion and garlic, all belonging to the same genus, Allium.

    As with Thursday’s fuchsia, I added a picture of Culzean castle into the AI prompt to ensure it featured in the background. My setting for the wild garlic is its natural habitat of woodland, with the castle in the background. I then did a series of style edits (carousel): golden hour lighting, night, storm, dystopian, futurism… enjoy

    Culzean Castle & Charming Hummingbird Fuchsia — FOTD Aug 01

    HAPPY AUGUST

    Hi All 👋 My latest post for Cee’s FOTD.

    We’re now moving on to Culzean Castle & its grounds in Ayrshire for the next series of flowers & settings

    The fuchsia magellanica is more commonly known as the hummingbird fuchsia, hardy fuchsia or chilco.

    These delicate wee fuchsias are a picture in themselves, but I wanted to show them in the grounds of Culzean Castle, so I added a picture of the castle to the prompt.

    Culzean Castle

    Once I had the base picture from the prompt…

    … I then did a series of style edits from this picture (carousel): mosaic, baroque, gothic-baroque fusion & finally, a gothic-baroque-cyberpunk fusion… enjoy
