About Still Life of a Bird's Nest, Violets, Primroses, and Apple Blossoms: Stilleven van een vogelnestje, viooltjes, primula's en appelbloesem (Still Life of a Bird's Nest, Violets, Primroses, and Apple Blossoms) is a still life painted in 1872 by Thomas Frederick Collier. The work depicts a quiet patch of ground in early spring, where a small bird's nest rests against an earthy bank. Woven from grasses and moss, the nest cradles speckled eggs, suggesting fragility and new life. White primroses bloom nearby, their soft petals and textured leaves rendered with botanical care. Deep blue violets thread through the composition, providing contrast and depth. Sprigs of apple blossom connect the low-growing plants to the wider seasonal landscape. The natural, soil-toned background reinforces the sense of an outdoor setting. Together, the elements evoke renewal, attentiveness to nature, and the fleeting beauty of spring. // Image Credit: Thomas Frederick Collier, 1872, The Rijksmuseum
The saucer magnolia (Magnolia x soulangeana, it's flowers are featured in this puzzle) typically grows to a height of 20-30 feet (6-9 meters) and a width of 15-25 feet (4.5-7.5 meters), with a rounded or spreading shape. Its leaves are dark green and oval-shaped, and can grow up to 6 inches (15 cm) long. One of the most striking features of the saucer magnolia is its large, cup-shaped flowers, which can grow up to 10 inches (25 cm) in diameter. The flowers are usually pink or purplish-pink, with a white interior and a subtle fragrance. They bloom in early spring, before the leaves appear, and last for several weeks.

The White-fronted Amazon is a lively, small parrot whose crisp white brow and ruby-red mask give it an air of perpetual curiosity. Cloaked mostly in emerald green, it flashes sapphire and gold when it takes flight, like sunlight breaking through a forest canopy. Found from Mexico to Costa Rica, this spirited bird thrives in dry woodlands and open forests, where its chatter carries far above the treetops. Its diet is a tropical feast of fruits, seeds, and blossoms, often pilfered from nearby farms with clever precision. Playful and intelligent, it moves in tight-knit flocks that burst into laughter-like calls at dawn and dusk. During nesting season, pairs retreat to tree hollows, where the female incubates her clutch while the male stands guard. Though smaller than most of its Amazon cousins, its personality fills the canopy. In the wild, the White-fronted Amazon is a symphony of color, noise, and boundless charm.
