I presume the red-brown colour at the end of the individual parts of the flowers is the pollen, bane of hay fever sufferers.

I didn’t notice what the purple flowers in the background were.

Some garden flowers to start today. Fuchsias remind me of the warmer climate of Devon and Cornwall, so they have seemed incongruous this summer.

A bracket fungus. This was a decidedly mature specimen, growing on an abbreviated tree stump.

A plant which prefers wet conditions, growing even in shallow water. These were pictured after heavy overnight rain, and still had a few drops of water hanging down.

Another garden flower which grabbed my attention.
