This clover, just about to open, was pictured in the early morning after a heavy dew.

No dew visible on these two open flowers, though they were taken at the same time and place.

It would be an attractive plant if it could be tamed from its very fast growth. Instead it smothers almost anything in its path.

One warm afternoon recently, the flowers on a pyracanthus bush were a magnet for bees. Two or three different insects are represented in this series.

Common growing in grass at this time of year – there are also more ornate garden varieties.

The flowers of this wayside weed are tiny. In this close-up the hooked hairs which make the plant sticky can be seen.

The whiteness of the petals is not an effect of a badly-exposed photo. That’s how the flower looked to the naked eye.
