Very nice non-purple set Gerard. As ever lovely shots.

Thanks Geoff. Especially for you, here is a non-purple I forgot to post. A Malva neglecta, I think:

I have some more harvest, some purple, some other .

First, a bee clinging to a Wild Bergamot:

You'll notice some other bugs on the flower as well, these tiny little shiny black things.

In the non-purple class, a more or less finished Queen Anne's Lace, which forms itself into a bowl at that point:


Moving back to purple, and bugs, a shiny bug on a Teasel:

Thanks Glenn.

You're welcome... I especially like the teasel. I've actually never seen one in flower. They don't grow here too commonly. Though they used to - as they used to be used here in the production of wool, I think it was, a couple of hundred years back.

We've half a dozen dry ones in the room next to me. But autumn (fall)-dried ones are all I've ever seen.
