Chinese stachyurus

The Chinese stachyurus is called Japanese stachyurus in Germany, which is wrong because it occurs naturally in China and Taiwan.  But I guess it was named at a time when everything further than a couple of hundred kilometres was considered far, and everything in Asia lumped together as exotic.

Synecdoche

A synecdoche is a figure of speech by which a part stands for the whole.

This was true when I posted this bee to stand for the whole “earth” – the topic for The Daily Post’s photo challenge from 19 April 2017.  One of my first photos for this challenge and one of my personal all time favourites.

Now this one photo stands for all the other photos which I have submitted to this challenge.

I think it is a worthy goodbye.
