P52 Week 20: Flowers and Plants (May 14 - May 20)

[AlixSPQR]

The epipetric Asplenium septentrionale is getting its new leaves. It's an evergreen, though, and its older leaves can be seen hanging.

Flowers and plants to accent and frame the primary subject.

Plants all over the buildings

I like the little flowers that sometimes appear in tall, unmowed grasses.

Like tiny little trees

pine needle vortex

Same flowers, same dismal morning light. This time I used the wide angle portion of the lens. At ƒ-2 I could have easily hand held, however chose to again use the flash. Other than resizing and a bit of sharpening, pretty much the way the JPEG came from the camera.

It is clear that I am not going to be able to keep up with you all this week! You are all so amazing for the participation so far! ❤️

I've never heard of these called belle bells before! I know it as foxglove, or its botanical name digitalis.

Oh that's not /their/ name, just my name

These might reseed close to where they are planted if you don't deadhead them, but the do not spread like Johnny Jump Ups!

Thanks, I imagine that because some are from last year and there are new plants coming up...just walking 😄

Made it back and not as crowed as on Mothers Day. Had an added benefit of an owl no more than 5 feet above my head - but off topic for this thread. Walked arounf the gardens with the new macro lens.

Another Crack at the lily plus some Saskatoon blooms and a tin sunflower.
