Chilean Lantern Tree (Crinodendron Hookerianum)
Have this tree growing in relative shade. Must be getting on for 10 years old or more. Once in a while it gets pruned to promote new growth. If left alone it would be quite tall and wide, I have it around 4 feet tall and 3 feet wide.
C. hookerianum is a dense, hardy medium-sized evergreen shrub to 6m, with rigid, narrow, dark green leaves and fleshy, lantern-shaped, crimson flowers 2.5cm in length from late spring to late summer.

Recently visited Oldmoor Wood, Nottinghamshire. Oldmoor Wood is a woodland in Nottinghamshire, near the village of Strelley. It covers a total area of 15.11 hectares. It is owned and managed by The Woodland Trust.
I went primarily for the beautiful Bluebells. There is a mix of Native and Spanish Bluebells.
Native Bluebells are protected in the UK under the Wildlife and Countryside Act, 1981.
How to tell the difference.
English Bluebells: Flowers on one side of the stem.
Spanish Bluebells: Flowers all around the stem.

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.

Macro capture of a large yellow, due covered flower shot in early morning near downtown Colorado Springs. Very lightly post-processed using Snapseed for Android.
The Alliums in my garden are coming out :) This particular type is the Allium Siculum. Also know as the Honey Garlic, Sicilian Honey Lily, Sicilian Honey Garlic, or Mediterranean Bells. What ever you know it as, it's a lovely perennial plant and delightful to see bees pollinate them from below.

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".
Watch the video :)

I love taking photos of rain droplets on little moss plants, or other tiny plants. You never know what the camera will reflect and magnify, and I do enjoy opening the pictures in the computer to see what's there. Often the detail has been so tiny, I've been unable to see it with my eyes.
The are different types and sizes of Sphinx moths. This is one of the larger ones. They are very quick and hover and move much like Hummingbirds. Feeding on the fly.
'Peony watch' again folks. Things ya do in lock down eh? Rear garden macro hand held shots. Quite happy with the results. Slowly but surely they are opening up and revealing a little more each time :)
Peony Shrub (Paeonia)
Ant (Formicidae)
Despite the heatwave this (unknown) plant is thriving. I like how the sunlight is shimmering on the cobweb.
