the 2012 selection

blooming thistle

butterfly

… and a dandelion, photographed during the day but using flash so that you can’t see any of the background, a seashell cosmos (thanks JF!) and a so-far unidentified pretty violet flower.

… sowie eine Pusteblume, tagsüber mit Blitz aufgenommen, so dass man den Hintergrund fast nicht sieht, eine Schmuckkörbchen-Art (danke JF!) und eine bisher nicht identifizierte hübsche Blume in lila.

    Well, now I HAVE to figure out the flower! Wood sorrel? Not from my own knowledge, but this handy tool. My flower book is in a box somewhere.

    Love the pics above, too. Especially the teeny-weeny spider.

    Thanks JF! Now you have a reputation to keep ;)
    The wood sorrel seems like a pretty good match, especially with those lines. Thanks also for the link, maybe I’ll be able to figure out some of the plants myself now. Books in boxes sound like moving though…
