Rose in the north east corner of my mother's hedge in front of her house, creating a natural fence by the sidewalk.
Bloom was facing away from me. I had to put the camera in front of the flower and hope I tapped the capture button! The little grasshopper a pleasant surprise!
He has one really long antenna! Looks like the other one may be missing.
Alongside the cicadas, the other harbingers of summer here, in the flora world, are Agapanthus and Lilly Pillys. In our little Close, six out of the eleven houses have agapanthus sprouting everywhere, just like hairs from an old man's ears! I think I'm getting FOMO—of the aggies, not the nose hairs!
The massive Lilly Pilly in our backyard starts flowering big time in summer, attracting thousands of bees. However, this year, despite it being in full bloom, there are no bees, which is a bit disconcerting. We all know how essential bees are to us, the tireless pollinators, supporting the growth of plants, crops, and ecosystems that sustain life on Earth. I hope they show up soon!
And if you're wondering what a Lilly Pilly is, Wikipedia advises that it is a summer-flowering, winter-fruiting evergreen tree, native to Australia and belonging to the myrtle family. This shot is just one of the tiny little flowers of which there are thousands.
Cheers !

It is one of the jewels in my rose garden.

Thanks to Kim Klassen for the texture, French Market.
I like this quote....it inspires to not worry too much about the edge. I received a bouquet of flowers from David for Valentine's Day. At first I left them the way they were and now I'm pulling them apart it seems...oh dear. I printed this one as an 8x12 and will mat it and put it in a white frame for our bedroom.

this one is from Kringsjå Molde
Most of my flower photos are taken in and around the city of Molde. The second largest city in the county of Møre og Romsdal. It lies along the shores of the Romsdalsfjord in Western Norway.
This charming city has been nicknamed the “City of Roses” since 1913. It boasts incredibly scenic views and surroundings and is filled with beautiful parks and gardens.
The family Asteraceae, alternatively Compositae, consists of over 32,000 known species of flowering plants in over 1,900 genera within the order Asterales. Commonly referred to as the aster, daisy, composite, or sunflower family, Compositae were first described in 1740.
