May not be the most spectacular orchid being a wild form however it does have a heavenly perfume that appeals to Humans and insects. Tiny baby assassins' bug waiting for ants pollinating the orchid.

Second in an insect series...
Admittedly, this detailed and up-close image is not for those who border on insect phobias, but I was very pleased with how this macro turned out.
Pastel colors often are featured in my images, but every once in a while a black and white rendering just makes it pop a little more due to the contrasts.
Captured in our garden the other day.
Enjoy! (If you are able to, lol)
A Painted Lady feeds on the Sedum florets in our garden.
From a few years back in late September.
I can't wait for summer to get here and to photograph the butterflies and dragonflies :)
Gerbera L. is a genus of plants in the Asteraceae (daisy family). Gerbera is native to tropical regions of South America, Africa and Asia. Gerbera species bear a large capitulum with striking, two-lipped ray florets in yellow, orange, white, pink or red colours. The capitulum, which has the appearance of a single flower, is actually composed of hundreds of individual flowers. The morphology of the flowers varies depending on their position in the capitulum. The flower heads can be as small as 7 cm (Gerbera mini 'Harley') in diameter or up to 12 cm (Gerbera ‘Golden Serena’). Gerbera is very popular and widely used as a decorative garden plant or as cut flowers. 21499

Erigeron annuus (formerly Aster annuus), the annual fleabane, daisy fleabane, or eastern daisy fleabane, is a species of herbaceous, annual or biennial flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. Erigeron annuus often grows as an annual but can sometimes grow as a biennial. It is herbaceous with alternate, simple leaves, and green, sparsely hairy stems, which can grow to between 30 and 150 centimeters (about 1 to 5 feet) in height. Leaves are numerous and large relative to other species of Erigeron, with lower leaves, especially basal leaves, coarsely toothed or cleft, a characteristic readily distinguishing this species from most other Erigeron. Upper leaves are sometimes (not always) toothed, but may have a few coarse teeth towards the outer tips.
The flower heads are white with yellow centers, with rays that are white to pale lavender, borne spring through fall depending on the individual plant. Ray florets number 40 to 100.

Leucanthemum × superbum, the Shasta daisy, is a commonly grown flowering herbaceous perennial plant with the classic daisy appearance of white petals (ray florets) around a yellow disc, similar to the oxeye daisy Leucanthemum vulgare Lam, but larger. It originated as a hybrid produced in 1890 by the American horticulturist Luther Burbank from a number of daisies. First, he crossed Leucanthemum vulgare with Leucanthemum maximum (Ramond) DC.; this double hybrid was itself crossed with Leucanthemum lacustre (Brot.) Samp. The resulting Leucanthemum triple hybrid was crossed with Nipponanthemum nipponicum (Franch. ex Maxim.) Kitam., creating an intergeneric cross of species from three continents. It was named after Mount Shasta, because its petals were the color of the snow. Some members of the genus are considered noxious weeds, but the Shasta daisy remains a favorite garden plant. 4614
The scientific name of sunflowers is Helianthus, Helia for sun and Anthus for flower. The head of a sunflower consists of 1,000 to 2,000 individual flowers joined together by a receptacle base. The large petals around the edge of a sunflower head are individual ray flowers which do not develop into seed. After pollination every little flower or floret produces a seed. The French word for sunflower is "tournesol" which means "turns with the sun." In their bud phase, sunflowers will literally seek out and face the sun. This trait is called heliotropism.
Have a happy Sunday everyone! :))
in a container in my garden. I do love this colour - I have two containers with hydrangeas, the other flowers are pink. I've no idea why this should be, just 'luck' I expect 😃 !
Slightly edited in Topaz Studio.
Thank you for your visit - I hope you like my macro.
Enjoy what's left of our summer !
When most flowers of summer have faded and gone, these blossoms burst onto the landscape in September, providing renewed cheer and color.
Sedum 'Autumn Joy' never disappoints :)

Hello everyone...
I'm back from a nice 5-day visit with my elderly parents, where we accomplished a lot of work, and we had a wonderful family time :)
This butterfly graced me with its presence as it fed on our Sedum flowers. I was so happy to be able to capture it before it flew away!
I am way behind on my commenting, so I will try to catch up soon...
Broccoli is so tightly wrapped these days that half of the florets get squashed and turn pale - I never know whether to cook them or cut them off before cooking! HMM

Flowers and plants at Sofiero Palace. The construction of Sofiero Palace started in 1865 and was completed in 1866.
Oscar and Sofia´s summer residence had originally only 1 floor, a cellar and an attic.
When Oscar and Sofia in 1872 became king and queen of Sweden and Norway their representation requirements increased and in 1874-75 a second floor was added.
The name Sofiero comes from queen Sofia who called herself Sophie. The Swedish name for “calm” is “ro” = Sofie Ro.
