A macro capture of Teasel (Dipsacus fullonum Sativus Group; syn. D. sativus) with its beautiful sculptural form and seed head in autumn. I really like their form and have a little fascination for them.

 

Teasel was used in wool “fleecing” (raising the nap on woolen cloth) and was used in textile processing, providing a natural comb for cleaning, aligning and raising the nap on fabrics. A valued horticulture plant which led to its introduction in North America as early as the 1700s.

Marjorie Fair. Harhero' (Poly/s)

I've had this particular rose for about three three years. It flowers in its first season and grows quite quickly, which is just what I wanted to fill a gap. The buds are in small clusters and once out they are a vibrant red with a white eye. At the time they were a little difficult to source, this one came from the Shetland Islands, an Archipelago in Scotland.

Knot the best of shots, it's a little ropey. That's the best I could string together - Don't take a fence :)

There so many superb macro captures of daffodils on Flickr at the moment that I hesitated for a long time before deciding to go ahead and post my best attempt! The Spring is so very welcome this year that I really wanted to celebrate with a shot from our garden!

Grape Hyacinths in my garden.

Grape hyacinth, Muscari is a genus of perennial bulbous plants native to Eurasia that produce spikes of dense, most commonly blue, urn-shaped flowers resembling bunches of grapes in the spring. The common name for the genus is grape hyacinth, but they should not be confused with hyacinths.

Fern (Polypodiopsida).

Fern is widespread and often overlooked to some degree. With the advent of Spring they begin their new growth. Fascinating to capture the macro moments and colours they hold at this stage.

Seen this fella lurking in my garden. European Garden Spider (Araneus Diadematus)

Shot freehand, a little closer than I actually wanted to be. It's core web was around 18 inches with the anchors reaching out some 3-4 feet away.

Old Man's Beard (Clematis Vitalba). Also known as, Traveller’s Joy and Scrambles.

 

Like other members of the Clematis genus, old man's beard or traveller's joy climbs (or scrambles ) over other plants using its leaf stalks (petioles) and flower stalks. The leaves are not unlike the familiar garden forms of Clematis. The leaf stalks entwine around any convenient support / structure in their vicinity and then lignify (become woody).

 

The leaves are described as opposite and 1-pinnate, that is, they have one pair of leaflets opposite to each other plus one terminal leaflet.

 

As the plant grows and matures, it forms woody stems which can be as thick as a wrist; the plant can grow to a height of 40 feet or more.

 

The flowers appear in August and September. When the plant has finished flowering, the developing seeds (known as achenes - an achene is a one seeded fruit) retain part of the flower – the style. This has long, silky hairs, which form the grey tufted balls that are so conspicuous in some woodlands and hedgerows in autumn and winter. These are, indeed, the 'old man's beard'. These silky structures are important in the dispersal of the seeds.

Burdock (Arctium Minus). Here towards the end of its season.

The Burdock is a very common wild food plant found across the UK and again like lots of edible Wild Plants is considered a weed. The Burdock is found all over the UK and likes grassland, woodland, hedgerows and wastelands that are relatively untouched by human hand so that it can complete its two year lifecycle. The Burdock can get quite large during is two years and sometimes hits nearly 2 metres in height.

Seen this little fella while at Clifton Grove Local Nature Reserve, Nottinghamshire.

[it's a still from a video file]

 

It is one of the commonest garden butterflies, found throughout lowland England and Wales with a wingspan of 63mm. It's unmistakable, with quite spectacular eyes on the upperside of the hindwings that give this butterfly its name. These eyes must appear very threatening to predators, such as mice, that confront this butterfly head-on, where the body forming a "beak".
