Reader Mark Jones from the UK sent us some lovely flower pictures. I hope I get the order right (the photos weren’t labeled)! His words and IDs are indented:
Butterflies are still thin on the ground, so I thought I would send you a few of my close-up photographs of flowers. I find the macro details gorgeous. Descriptions, hopefully in order:
Bluebell (Hyacinthoides non-scripta):
Birdsfoot Trefoil (Lotus corniculatus):
Forget-me-nots (Myosotis sylvatica):
Not sure, maybe Dame’s Rocket (Hesperis matronalis):
Pussy Willow (Salix):
No idea about this one, I call it spidery plant.
Daffodils (Narcissus):
Very nice Mark! Thanks for sharing these! It’s Spring! 🙂
I think spidery plant is witch hazel.
Yes – I was going to say the same.
Thanks, witch-hazel does look right!
Nice set. I have a hard time remembering the names of flowers – common or Latin. Even the forget-me-not, which I’d call my favorite of these.
Love the birdsfoot trefoil. They always look kind of like orchids to me.
Beautiful photos. My favorite (tho’ not by much in this lovely group) is the backlit daffodil. Q: What makes the birdfoot trefoil a birdfoot?
