Also known as the "Iceland Pink Poppy" one of the many varieties of Poppies grown at this time of year .
Allium is a genus of monocotyledonous flowering plants with hundreds of species, including the cultivated onion, garlic, scallion, shallot, leek, and chives. The generic name Allium is the Latin word for garlic, and the type species for the genus is Allium sativum which means "cultivated garlic".
Please note that the only post treatment is on color temperature (original picture a bit greener). The light effect is due to last rays of sun of the day.

The bright yellow flowers and "clock " seedheads of Dandelions make this flower easily recognisable . Dandlions may be considered a nuisance in parts of the Garden especially on weed-free lawns .But they also have many Herbal uses as well .
Correct me if I am wrong but I believe this flower is a black eyed susan
Thanks for your visit, comments, and faves!

Intense eye-level perspective of a green heron stretched out along a branch, locked onto a target below the surface.
A green heron strike takes less than a tenth of a second (100 milliseconds) from the moment it releases its coiled neck to the moment it snaps up its prey. This rapid extension is faster than a human eye blink.
While the actual transit time is under 1/10th of a second, some observational estimates and local data peg the physical movement speed of the neck tip anywhere from 60 to 90 miles per hour up to even higher bursts to prevent fish and insects from evading the ambush.
A green heron can stretch its neck out to a surprising length of up to 18 inches (approximately 46 cm).
Because these birds usually hold their necks drawn tight and coiled against their bodies, they naturally appear very compact and stocky. However, their flexible neck contains a specialized hinge vertebra that allows them to telescopically uncoil it. When making a strike, a green heron can instantly extend its reach to a distance that is roughly equal to its entire body length.
Information gleaned from the internet.
I am grateful for your support and appreciate every view, fave, and comment!

There are fruits in nature, they will not ripen. The sun is losing more and more power. The autumn is in full swing.
