This was one of the smaller bulbs I could find. The overall max width of frame here is 6cm.
Happy Macro Monday! 😊

King Brian II is looking very regal - he came to the throne at a very young age, owing to the untimely demise of his parents at the beak of a crow. Actually, I suppose it could be Queen Brian as snails are hermaphrodites.
For Macro Mondays theme 'Vegetable'. Brian is perched proudly on the tip of a leaf from one of my beetroot plants that is struggling to survive the colder weather in my greenhouse.
No snails were harmed in the making of this photograph.

Pretty beetroot bow-tie pasta. I can never resist buying pasta in different shapes and colours - I now have a large selection taking up space in two of my kitchen cupboards. Luckily some does get eaten!
