These Allium Siculums are beginning to unfurl in my garden. They need a thin garden cane to help support them at this stage.

Nectaroscordum (Allium).

Alliums are part of the onion family. They bloom with bell-shaped flowers offering reddish-purple markings as you can see. Known as the Honey Garlic, Sicilian Honey Lily, Sicilian Honey Garlic, or Mediterranean Bells, is a European and Turkish species of plants genus Allium. It is native to the regions around the Mediterranean and Black Seas, and grown in other regions as an ornamental and as a culinary herb.

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.

it may be my imagination but I think phone cameras excel at macro capture.

Macro capture of Turkeytail mushroom, lichen and moss on Garry oak tree branch in late February.

Garry oak ecosystems range from shady woodlands to open meadows with scattered trees which support many life forms including moss, lichens and fungi. Under the shelter of oak canopies or in meadows, spring wildflowers, grasses, mosses, and a variety of shrubs flourish.

A popular spot among local photographers.

Wide angle macro captured using a relay lens system (2.7mm M12 lens focuses the image onto a "virtual" plane which, in turn, is projected onto camera's sensor by a reversed 24mm).

Seen this little fella at Attenborough Nature Reserve here in Nottinghamshire. He was happy to sit and pose for a few minutes.

The centre and the reserve is named after naturalist and broadcaster Sir David Attenborough.

“Convergent Evolution”

Some insects are as big as small birds.

“The hummingbird hawk-moth” is a species of hawk moth found across temperate regions of Eurasia. The species is named for its similarity to hummingbirds, as they feed on the nectar of tube-shaped flowers using their long proboscis while hovering in the air; this resemblance is an example of convergent evolution.

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.

Well today was a beautiful sunny day in the middle of Winter. Temperature up to around 15C. Out n about once again, this time in the gardens of The National Trust's Hardwick Hall, Derbyshire. Wonderful to see Spring making an early presence in the air.

With bonus skink. Still trying the Halide app, this time in conjunction with an iPad Mini 4 (thanks Todd). The larger screen is a big help, separating exposure controls from the viewfinder frame, but reflections can become more problematic. With this iPad I wasn't able to activate RAW or Macro captures either, despite recent iOs.

Bullrush (Scirpoides Holoschoenus) and Old Man's Beard (Clematis Vitalba). When you stop and take a closer look and see the explosion of seeds bursting out with a gentle breeze detaching a few. Then that's the new season emerging right there :)

Seen at Attenborough Nature Reserve here in Nottinghamshire.
