This very attractive Trillium is infected with a plant disease.
I was excited to see this White-flowered Trillium (Large-flowered Trillium) in Northport, Michigan. I thought it was different species, or variety. Janet (jlst2i) thought it was bacterial disease. Janet was correct.
Phytoplasm (aka Mycoplasma-like bacteria) infects Trillium, and the result is the green stripes in the petals. This is an early symptom. Trillium being a perennial flower, the disease progresses each year until the petals are nearly totally green.
DAZZLINGLY ATTRACTIVE bird, not often seen in our corner of Kent UK, and was not expecting to see it in the Grove Ferry Feast Hide, but what a joy when it landed, he caught a couple of tiddlers and was off, leaving me with the biggest grin ever.

Buff-fronted Owl - The Buff-fronted Owl is both a highly attractive and very poorly known owl, and is the sole member of the genus Aegolius to occur in South America. Its range there is rather widespread, but apparently highly disjunct, the species occurring in the Andes from northwest Venezuela to northern Peru, and then, equally locally, over much of the eastern third of South America, from northeast Brazil south to northeast Argentina, and Bolivia. Over this wide range, the Buff-fronted Owl is known from a wide variety of forest types, and has been recorded from sea level to the timberline. The face and underparts are largely buffy-colored, whilst the upperparts are dark brown, marked with white spots and bars on the wings and tail, respectively. Its whistled trilling vocalization recalls that of some screech-owls. doi.org/10.2173/bow.bufowl1.01

This attractive magenta color bloom is just one of several flowers of a plant which is crawling on the ground of a vacant lot in Subic, Zambales, Philippines.
le Rougegorge familier est peu farouche et son plumage attractif l'ont rendu populaire chez des générations de jardiniers; en réalité le rouge-gorge fait partie d'une espèce d'oiseau très agressive, et certains mâles se battent parfois à mort pour défendre leur territoire. Présent dans presque chaque jardin, c'est l'un des oiseaux les moins sauvages, cherchant sa nourriture à proximité des humains en train de jardiner. Il ira jusqu'à venir se nourrir de proies vivantes, comme des vers de terre ou des vers de farine, présentés à la main. Si l'hiver est rude, il deviendra encore plus familier, car le manque de nourriture provoqué par la neige et la glace le rend très vulnérable.
Le rouge-gorge défend un territoire à longueur d'année, sauf durant la mue et si l'hiver est très froid. En hiver, les femelles occupent et défendent aussi un territoire. Celui-ci leur est nécessaire non seulement pour nicher, mais aussi pour garantir une source suffisante de nourriture. Un rouge-gorge sans territoire meurt au bout de quelques semaines. C'est pourquoi cet espace est défendu avec une telle énergie. En général, il suffit que le propriétaire exhibe son plastron rouge pour que l'intrus recule, mais il peut arriver que la lutte s'engage et les combats s'achèvent parfois par la mort de l'un des adversaires.
À l'opposé de nombreux autres oiseaux, le rouge-gorge vit en solitaire pendant l'automne et l'hiver mâle et femelle restant sur leur territoire hivernal respectif avec comme résultat qu'ils continuent à chanter même en hiver.
Le rouge-gorge semble bien voir dans l'obscurité, car il est encore actif le soir quand il n'y a plus de lumière.

the familiar Robin is not very shy and its attractive plumage has made it popular with generations of gardeners; in fact the robin is part of a very aggressive bird species, and some males sometimes fight to death to defend their territory. Present in almost every garden, it is one of the least wild birds, seeking its food near the humans in the process of gardening. It will go as far as feeding on live prey, such as earthworms or mealworms, presented by hand. If the winter is rough, it will become even more familiar, as the lack of food caused by snow and ice makes it very vulnerable.
The robin defends a territory all year long, except during the moult and if the winter is very cold. In winter, females also occupy and defend a territory. It is necessary for them not only to nest, but also to guarantee a sufficient source of food. A robin without territory dies after a few weeks. That's why this space is defended with such energy. In general, it is enough for the owner to show his red shirt so that the intruder recoils, but it can happen that the struggle begins and the fighting sometimes ends with the death of one of the opponents.
In contrast to many other birds, the robin lives alone during the fall and winter male and female remaining in their respective winter territories with the result that they continue to sing even in winter.
The robin seems to see well in the dark because it is still active at night when there is no light.
I always loved the dandelion, especially as a child with its wonderful vibrant yellow colour and in particular when it turned into ball of white fluff that could be blown upon and the seedlings would float away. Not only that, the bees loves its pollen richness. So pretty flower it is then, rather than a nuisance weed.
a couple of beetles: Trichodes apiarius- the big one- and Mylabris quadripunctata.
Those margaritas were very attractive for insects: 4 different species at least...
Attractive, colorful vireo with thick white spectacles. Note dark blue-gray head, yellowish sides, and bold white wingbars. Breeds in forested areas, typically mixed coniferous and deciduous. Migrants can be found in any wooded area, often in flocks with other small songbirds. Winters from the southeastern U.S. to Central America. Blue-headed is the brightest of the "Solitary Vireo" complex, and usually identifiable by range alone. Compare especially with Cassin's Vireo on the wintering grounds, but note Blue-headed is more colorful and contrasty. Especially look for contrast between the dark gray face and white throat. Some birds are best left unidentified. Song is sweeter and slower than other vireos in breeding range. (eBird)

I just couldn't resist this view of the Blue-headed Vireo. His white eyerings look like a superhero (supervillain ?)'s mask. He is proudly showing off the bug that he has caught.

Too early for lunch,the colourful chairs and the attractively decorated tables prepared ready. The tables situated in an enviable position elevated over looking the old city square,will soon be filled with people taking a leisurely meal.
The forest floor behind our house is populated with bloodroot wildflowers. They have an attractive white blossom that closes at night and is one of the first of the spring bloomers around here.
I find the leaf more interesting than the blossom. They stand up straight out of the ground with and amazing vascular system. The leaf shields the stem and flower.
Notice what is left of the flower in front of the leaf.

Pleione orchids series. An attractive Pleione is the last that come to bloom out of 9 hybrids we’ve got early February and probably most handsome looking one. It was labelled Pleione speciose ‘Blakeway Philips’ (also known as Pln. pleionoides ‘Blakeway Philips’). This is not a registered hybrid accepted by the RHS. Some sites list it as a clone of variable appearance and Google images were not helpful in finding what flowers should look like – thrill of the unknown. Here is our ‘version’ of Pleione 'Blakeway Phillips', and it’s still growing. Pleione orchids are miniature orchids with large flowers that in the wild grow on foothills and in mountain areas of East and South East countries. Common names include Peacock orchids thank to large showy flowers or Windowsill orchids due to small plant sizes. Native names include Glory of the East, Himalayan crocus, Indian crocus. 362 different garden hybrids are registered officially by the RHS.

Small attractive Insect (10-11 mm). Head and thorax are green or blue with a bright metallic sheen.. Abdomen is also shiny and metallic, and is ruby-red.
One of several bright coloured members of the Chrysididae family, sometimes called the cuckoo wasp.It lays eggs in the cells of solitay wasps or bees, where its larva feeds on the host's larva.

This attractive door leading into one of the two crematorium chapels faces the setting sun. It is a poignant reminder that whilst the sun sets on every life, we know for certain that it will rise again in the morning.
During courtship/bonding in the breeding season, male bee-eaters offer insect 'snacks' to females. Here on the branch are two males, left and middle (with the dragonfly) and the female to the right. Bothe sexes are alike with this species but females can often be separated from males by body size...but not always.
These migratory birds can be found as far north as Finland and as far south as South Africa, extending east into some Asiatic countries too. Most commonly, European Bee-eaters will breed and nest in southern Europe, then migrate south during autumn and winter.
European bee-eaters live for five to six years. The difficulties of migration and avoiding predators along the way affect every bird. Bee-eaters today also find it harder to find food, as there are fewer insects around as a result of pesticides.

Syzygium is a genus of flowering plants that belongs to the myrtle family, Myrtaceae. The genus comprises about 1200–1800 species, and has a native range that extends from Africa and Madagascar through southern Asia east through the Pacific. Its highest levels of diversity occur from Malaysia to northeastern Australia, where many species are very poorly known and many more have not been described taxonomically. Cascade is a beautiful mid sized shrub with mid-sized glossy apple green leaves with attractive red and pink new growth. Spectacular pink powder-puff flowers in summer are followed by pinkish fruits that are edible and attract birds. 32933
Echinopsis is a large genus of cacti native to South America, sometimes known as hedgehog cactus, sea-urchin cactus or Easter lily cactus. One small species, E. chamaecereus, is known as the peanut cactus. The 128 species range from large and treelike types to small globose cacti. The name derives from echinos hedgehog or sea urchin, and opsis appearance, a reference to these plants' dense coverings of spines.
They are remarkable for the great size, length of tube, and beauty of their flowers, which, borne upon generally small and dumpy stems, appear much larger and more attractive than would be expected.
Since this particular species' individual flowers normally bloom only two days a year, and this is one of those days, and this is my wife's birthday, it seems that all the stars were aligned.
Continuing my "Critters In Winter" series, here's a beetle sauntering along the ice in February. Not exactly attractive, this one, but it attracted my attention. Who knew? And where was it going? And to do what? And why?
There's nothing to eat out there in February; there's no one to mate with. But there it was, activated by unseen forces, marching across a frozen wasteland like Sir John Franklin's crew after their ships went down in the Arctic in 1848.
As I recall, this was a cold day. I walked along the frozen Frenchman River, unconcerned about the ice cracking. It was a solid mass. I didn't last very long out there, and - I'm sure - neither did the beetle.

Mit einem sehr schönen und zur Lok guten Kontrast bietenden Containerzug nach Wolfurt war die damals nagelneu beklebte 186 941 "Attracktive Forces" der LTE unterwegs. Kurz vor erreichen des Bahnhofes Treuchtlingen, konnte der Zug in einer kleinen Sonnelücke von den 3 Fotografen festgehalten werden.
Barred Owls are one of my favorite owls because they are often active during morning daylight hours. This one came out of the shadows and the light hit him perfectly. They are a large owl very attractive both at rest and in flight. I’m hoping to find a nest this year so that I can watch the new breed come into the world.

The attractive orange foliage with red tips of this easy-care bromeliad is a perfect background for the brilliant, springtime flower stalk, which emerges from the tight center rosette of leaves. The flower stalk is composed of a cluster of red and yellow showy bracts. It is the long-lasting bracts that are most noticeable. They can be used as cut flowers indoors for a period of weeks.
