This shot was taken on the same morning as the previous image, we planned to visit 3 of the nature reserves on the mendips starting with Draycott Sleights, then moving to GB Gruffy and finally over to Ubley Warren to photograph this Bee Orchid.
We had checked all the sites out the day before and located 2 Bee Orchids, but could I find them the next morning! Eventually found this individual orchid with just the single flower on the side of a small mound. The local rabbits had done their usual fine job of keeping the grass cut short making photographing it quite easy.

From my collection
Very variable species with the largest flowers in the genus ranging from 100-400 mm in diameter. Clump-forming succulent with fat, green, erect, deeply ribbed stems, up to 200 mm tall and 30 mm thick.
The flowers are large, star-shaped 5-petalled, pale yellow in color, with transverse crimson lines variable in color and covered with purplish or crimson hairs.
It is the most widely north-south distributed species and occurs in Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Africa.
Sunflowers
While it is so grey and rainy in Europe right now, think it's time to bring a little sunshine with those sunflowers or Helianthus, as seen and photogrpahed in the Philippines.
And ere is some background information from Wikipedia about the sunflowers:
Sunflowers are usually tall annual or perennial plants that in some species can grow to a height of 300 cm (120 in) or more. They bear one or more wide, terminal capitula (flower heads), with bright yellow ray florets at the outside and yellow or maroon (also known as a brown/red) disc florets inside. Several ornamental cultivars of H. annuus have red-colored ray florets; all of them stem from a single original mutant. During growth, sunflowers tilt during the day to face the sun, but stop once they begin blooming. This tracking of the sun in young sunflower heads is called heliotropism. By the time they are mature, sunflowers generally face east. The rough and hairy stem is branched in the upper part in wild plants, but is usually unbranched in domesticated cultivars. The petiolate leaves are dentate and often sticky. The lower leaves are opposite, ovate, or often heart-shaped.They are distinguished technically by the fact that the ray florets (when present) are sterile, and by the presence on the disk flowers of a pappus that is of two awn-like scales that are caducous (that is, easily detached and falling at maturity). Some species also have additional shorter scales in the pappus, and one species lacks a pappus entirely. Another technical feature that distinguishes the genus more reliably, but requires a microscope to see, is the presence of a prominent, multicellular appendage at the apex of the style. Sunflowers are especially well known for their symmetry based on Fibonacci numbers and the golden angle.
Quite a bit of variability is seen among the perennial species that make up the bulk of those in the genus. Some have most or all of the large leaves in a rosette at the base of the plant and produce a flowering stem that has leaves that are reduced in size. Most of the perennials have disk flowers that are entirely yellow, but a few have disk flowers with reddish lobes. One species, H. radula, lacks ray flowers altogether.Helianthus species are used as food plants by the larvae of many lepidopterans. The seeds of H. annuus are used as human food.

Contrary to the earlier shot of the bee orchid, had absolutely no problem finding this species at GB Gruffy.
This year there seems to be more than ever so it was just a case of choosing one. Whilst there are only a few rabbits which inhabit one part of the reserve, there are a small number of ponies put there to manage the flora, so in a few places the orchids are surrounded by tightly cropped grass.

From my collection
Los antófilos (Anthophila, griego ‘que aman las flores’), conocidos comúnmente como abejas, son un clado de insectos himenópteros, sin ubicación en categoría taxonómica, dentro de la superfamilia Apoidea. Se trata de un linaje monofilético con más de 20 000 especies conocidas. Las abejas, al igual que las hormigas, evolucionaron a partir de himenópteros aculeados. Los antepasados de las abejas estaban relacionados con la familia Crabronidae y eran depredadores de insectos. Es posible que las primeras abejas se hayan alimentado del polen que cubría a algunas de sus presas y que, gradualmente, hayan empezado a alimentar a sus crías con polen en lugar de insectos.1
Hay muchas más especies que aún no han sido descritas. Se las encuentra en todos los continentes, excepto en la Antártida. Están en todos los hábitats donde hay plantas con flores (magnoliofitas o angiospermas). Están adaptadas para alimentarse de polen y néctar, usando el primero fundamentalmente como alimento para las larvas y el segundo como material energético. La especie más conocida es la abeja doméstica (Apis mellifera), a veces simplemente llamada “abeja”; esta especie es un insecto social que vive en enjambres formados por tres clases de individuos: reina, obreras y zánganos;

From one of the cities many parks
Most of my flower snaps are taken in and around the city of Molde. The second largest city in the county of Møre og Romsdal. It lies along the shores of the Romsdalsfjord in Western Norway.
This charming city has been nicknamed the “City of Roses” since 1913. It boasts incredibly scenic views and surroundings and is filled with beautiful parks and gardens.
Plantaginaceae, the plantain family, is a family of flowering plants in the order Lamiales. In older classifications it used to be the only family of the order Plantaginales, but numerous phylogenetic studies, summarized by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group, have demonstrated that this taxon should be included within Lamiales.

Photographed the white flower blossoms of the Pin Cherry Tree found on Prout's Island on Lake Sesekinika located in the Township of Grenfell in Northeastern Ontario Canada
Pin Cherry trees produce small, edible fruits, that are sour when raw, but make excellent preserves. However, all non-fruit parts of the tree contain toxins and are inedible. Pin Cherry grows quickly, and can also spread through suckers, making it useful for stabilizing eroding soils and riverbanks. Pin Cherry like open woodlands, and will readily colonize recently disturbed stands, helping to begin the reforestation process. These small trees only live about 40 years, but they produce a lot of fruit once mature, which many animals rely on in late summer. Pin Cherry fruits are so popular with songbirds that this tree is commonly known as Bird Cherry! Source: The Arboretum Uof G.

These hardy herbaceous perennials are cultivated for their large, handsome, often fern-like foliage and dense, feathery plumes of flowers. Numerous hybrid cultivars have been raised. The flowers of Astilbes have a strong and pleasant aroma and some, including “Astilbe rivularis,” are also used in traditional medicine.(Wikipedia)

Water lilies are a well studied clade of plants because their large flowers with multiple unspecialized parts were initially considered to represent the floral pattern of the earliest flowering plants, and later genetic studies confirmed their evolutionary position as basal angiosperms. Analyses of floral morphology and molecular characteristics and comparisons with a sister taxon, the family Cabombaceae, indicate, however, that the flowers of extant water lilies with the most floral parts are more derived than the genera with fewer floral parts. Genera with more floral parts, Nuphar, Nymphaea, Victoria, have a beetle pollination syndrome, while genera with fewer parts are pollinated by flies or bees, or are self- or wind-pollinated Thus, the large number of relatively unspecialized floral organs in the Nymphaeaceae is not an ancestral condition for the clade.
