Oxalis acetosella (Oxalidaceae) 091 21
Oxalis acetosella (wood sorrel or common wood sorrel) is a rhizomatous flowering plant in the family Oxalidaceae, common in most of Europe and parts of Asia. The specific name is acetosella, which refers to its sour taste.
The plant has trifoliate compound leaves, the leaflets heart-shaped and folded through the middle, that occur in groups of three on petioles up to 10 centimeters long. It flowers from spring to midsummer with small white chasmogamous flowers with pink streaks. Red or violet flowers also occur rarely. During the night or when it rains the flowers close and the leaves fold.
From Wikipedia
Epimedium alpinum (Berberidaceae) 097 20
Epimedium alpinum is a perennial herbaceous plant of Berberidaceae Family.
It is a species native to central and southern Europe.
The medium green leaves are compound and each leaflet is heart-shaped with a pointed tip. The leaves have a pink tinge when they emerge in spring, mature to green, and take on a red tinge in the fall. Clusters of twelve to twenty flowers are produced in loose racemes above the foliage in spring. The sepals are dull red and the petals are pale yellow and slipper-shaped.
Polemonium, commonly called Jacob's ladders or Jacob's-ladders (the name derived from the Biblical story), is a genus of between 25 and 40 species of flowering plants in the family Polemoniaceae, native to cool temperate to arctic regions of the Northern Hemisphere.[1][2] One species, Polemonium micranthum, also occurs in the southern Andes in South America. Many of the species grow at high altitudes, in mountainous areas. Most of the uncertainty in the number of species relates to those in Eurasia, many of which have been synonymized with Polemonium caeruleum.
Polemonium are perennial plants (rarely annual plants) growing 10–120 cm tall with bright green leaves divided into lance-shaped leaflets. They produce blue (rarely white or pink) flowers in the spring and summer.
Some species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Coleophora polemoniella.

Newly unwrapped palm frond is uncurling its myriad of leaflets. It's part of a small, low palm that recently got a brand new set of fronds which rose from the center of the stem like a knot of finger-thick snakes. They are now unfurling, looking very frond-like, but do not yet have their needle sharp spines.

...Let it be! They don't have to be shiny. They don't have to be red. But these new leaflets are both. Regular walkers here know there is plenty of poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans) growing alongside this path overlooking the sea. You couldn't be blamed for starting to itch just looking at it.
One more of the series of shots from the Museum. This one was a bit tricky though. I had light coming directly on the leaf from the other end, as in direct sunlight. I had to move away to face the tree truck but then now i ended up with lesser light. Cheap Canon lenses are not all that sharp unless you go smaller than f/7.1.
Finally i switched to manual, went to F/11 and fired the flash from the Canon Speedlite 430EX to evenly light up these leaves. Interestingly i'm getting to see how light has DoF here. The background from the leaves seems to have been darkened out in the bokeh.
Looks good on large

Exhibition #FolkestonePlinth. Marketa was handing out leaflets and informing passers by of this online exhibition in Folkestone. It is inspired by the work of street artist Banksy. There are 14 plinths in beautiful and unique places across Folkestone. Find one of the plinths and use it to display your artwork. Take a picture of your artwork or object on a plinth and post it on social media using #FolkestonePlinth to become part of a massive exhibition celebrating the creativity of Folkestone. The Plinths will be on display from Friday 18 September until Sunday 8 November.
