More
gardening planned for today. Banana trees and bougainvillea first on
the list.
I
started noticing these tiny flowers and bugs this spring. Mostly
these are from the grounds of the shop. All these little flowers and
bugs are 1/4” or less in size with one or two exceptions.
ants inside the squash flower
scarlet pimpernel
baby
praying mantis
pink
flower
this
little spider was closer to 1/2”
this deer pea vetch flower was 1/8”
the
bug on the pea flower...so tiny!
the
little dayflower was about 5/8”
little
lawnflower also about 1/8”
yellow wood sorrel (?)
tiny
venus' comb flowers in a cluster
1/8”
black medic bloom
coral colored flower
tiny little beauties most would overlook. :)
ReplyDeleteA whole world in a thimble.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures, especially with the little bugs. Happy Mother's Day. Take care.
ReplyDeleteFabulous! That last picture makes me think of the Scarlet Pimpernel movie - "they seek him here, they seek him there, those Frenchies seek him everywhere! That damned elusive Pimpernel!" :)
ReplyDeleteOh man, I am SO glad you have a camera, The tinies are exquisite!
ReplyDeleteFun to play with close ups. I try to see it all
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely amazing pictures. We always see more when we look closely.
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day
Great little images! Never seen ants collecting in a flower like that - were they setting ambush for the soft bodied or just enjoying sweetness?
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure that the baby praying mantis just mooned me.
ReplyDeleteHow I wish I could plant a banana tree... *sigh*.
I will satisfy myself by finding new pots for two grapefruit seedlings. Then, I will live my banana tree planting dreams vicariously through you! ♥
I love the words "scarlet pimpernel."
ReplyDeletegreat shot,,,the "pink flower" was kind'a a lavender, to me...lol
