Native Flora.....

[Kobione]

Haven't done much with a camera for the last few weeks, but I did get out recently for a couple of walks with Brian, and guy who is an expert in our native flora. We enjoyed walking and looking for the tiny flowers that you could walk past and never see if it wasn't for their colour. Here are a few I took:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I can't remember the botanical names, but this one is really interesting. It's common name is Early Jane, and each plant has a male and a female flower:

 

 

Here is a small group of them:

 

 

A Leopard Orchid:

 

 

I'll add a few more later.

I can't remember the botanical names...

 

They'd all be Greek to me anyway 

 

Always fascinating to compare what you have on your doorstep with our own.

??????? ???!

 

Well that's bl00dy stupid.  I inserted Greek characters into the text box just fine. But when I 'Posted' they have all got replaced by ??????.

Had some fun with Sundews too:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think the 'lunch serve' in this one was a bit too big for the top one!!:

 

 

 

And lastly we were lucky enough to be shown a quite rarely seen Spider Orchid:

 

 

 

And that's pretty much all I've done over the last weeks.

"All" she says! #2 is a total winner... (#2 of the second lot,  I mean)

[Kobione]

Aww, thanks Chris - there was a bit of a 'fun challenge' set for me in this lot, and I was quite pleased with the results

[Brian]

These are lovely Deirdre, the envy of our little group.

Really like the sundew shots, especially the first!

[NannyFerret]

Lovely set, Dee.
It's always nice to see what grows and the native animals you have in your country 

[Black Pearl]

See that is why we love you - a bit of a different view of the world from what we usually see and you take pictures for the joy of taking pictures.

 

Keep them coming.

 

Ps. The sundew is a cracker!
