Shiny Balls

Sulfur-flowered Buckwheat (Sulphurflower) has balls of tiny flowers at the end of nearly bare stalks.
Apparently, this is a highly variable species of native wildflowers, with color variation and size differences depending on its location and growth conditions. These were vigorous, but despite their vigor and profusion of blooms, they were less than 12 inches (30 cm) tall.
Look in largest size to see the individual tiny flowers.

Running a bit behind at the moment! I've just returned from visiting my mother in Devon (220 miles away) who is in the latter stages of dementia, she slept throughout each of my visits - a bit soul destroying.
These are five mini chocolate snow balls (on a bed of sparkly icing sugar) - they are only available at Christmas, so it's a must!
The frame measures around 6cm across.
Happy Macro Mondays! 😊
