Clerodendrum quadriloculare, otherwise known as the Q-tip plant, is a species of flowering plant native to New Guinea and the Philippines. When I initially spotted this flowering plant in Hawaii, I assumed that it was man-made. What a delight to discover that it was real!

Thank you to everybody that views, comments and for favouring my images. Always greatly appreciated

Orange-tip : Anthocharis cardamines

Growth tips have been quickly getting larger and more deep green. When still new they were good to eat, but now they're getting to be too tough to chew.

Finally - the first Russet-tipped clubtails (3) yesterday at the wetlands! Our two Stylurus species fly in August/September and are rare - we've been looking for these for weeks. Check out the lush habitat near the river where we found them (photo below) - the wildflowers towering as high as 12 feet, so so many places for odes to hide. North Georgia 9-6-20

Have a good Labor Day!

Tipical Romanian carriage, hay stacks, punchy sky..

For "Looking close... on Friday!" ; theme : "tip".

This male Orange Tip was busy flying around when he decided to settle, this was my chance to grab a few shots before he took to the wing again.

A contribution to the Paris climate agreement.

I think, if nothing changes or things get worse, many will pay a high price.

Spruce is growing fast now. New growth tips that emerge are supple and light green. They are perfectly edible and while a bit acquired taste, not bad at all.

Taken with Chinon 135mm F2.8.

I don't often get the chance to photograph these butterflies. They are constantly on the move and hardly ever land.

I was very lucky with this one.....except I didn't have my macro lens with me !

A pair of Orange Tips photographed on Cuckoo Flowers in a damp meadow this morning. An egg is also visible under the cluster of buds.

No comments, please. I'm writing to anyone who might act about our global warming and climate change. We decided not to have progeny, but innocent wildlife suffers.

I hope you'll join me.

One of the great satisfactions that digital photography brings to us these days!

Another shot of the Orange Tip on Cuckoo Flower that visited my garden today.

A desert rarity found in small numbers on Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands back in February (6829).

I searched for hours at Birnie loch today trying to find one of these guys at rest. It wasn't easy getting close so i'm pretty happy with the few shots i managed to get.
