One of my favourite views at this time of the year, a jungle of #seedheads and ornamental #grasses. A few evening primroses dotted around, hard to spot, are still budding.

This photograph is impossible to describe adequately. It is, as the post says, a jungle of seedheads and ornamental grasses.
In the foreground, there is a row of mostly seedheads going across. On the left is a partial branch of an old greengage tree.
Middle distance, centre, a tall ornamental grass, Miscanthus sinensis ‘New Hybrids’. The grass is flowering, going to seed, whilst its stems are already turning yellow.
The green corner towards the back on the right is a bamboo.

A light cream, almost white coloured fungus consisting of a bulb sat on a star shaped base called a collar on woodland type ground.
Commonly found in hardwood forests around the world. I discovered them in a shady part of the garden, where I had a leaf pile two or three years ago.
The Native American Blackfoot Confederacy called collared earthstars ka-ka-toos – meaning 'fallen stars' – and believed them to be indicators of supernatural events.
There are several varieties. Not sure, which one mine are. Diameter is around 7 cm. Maybe someone can help with #identification

Hello. Here's another shrub I don't think I have seen before - Aeonium Succulent. 😀

There are large waxy rosettes with deep burgundy, almost black, coloured leaves coupled with tight clusters of small, bright yellow star-like flowers thst stand above the rosettes.

The large planting of several shrubs at the Botanic Gardens in Sydney really caught my eye. I was initially perplexed. 🙂 See what you think.

The photograph shows a romantic garden densely planted with trees, shrubs, annuals and perennials. Layer upon layer, it is difficult to gauge the size of the garden. The scene is back-lit by the low evening sun. A curved, paved path is partially visible. To one side of the path is a small sculpture of a Venetian flying lion.

I've been out in the garden again with the macro lens, finding out new things about how some of my plants look close up.

Here, we've got a poppy (self-sown so no idea about what it is!), Hosta 'Purple Heart', Caryopteris 'Dark Knight', and Canna 'Pink Sunburst'.

#AltText #Macro #MacroPhotography #plants #flowers #garden #GardenPhotography #PlantPhotography #Gardening @plants #ILikeThisNewLens

Very close up shot of the head of a frilly red poppy flower. Lots of red petals criss-cross one another like ribbons of crepe paper, hiding green-purple stamens among them.

These seed themselves in our garden from...somewhere. I have no idea the variety, but close up they look quite amazing.

Close up of the leaf and stem of a hosta plant. The leaf is green with strong pale veins running through it. The main stem is covered in purple-red dots, becoming more numerous the further down you look, until the stems is almost solid purple.

This is my favourite hosta! The flower (not shown) is a pinky-purple colour.

Close up of the tiny flowers of Caryopteris. Dark purple buds burst open with a long, dark purple stigma, and pale frilly ends on the mauve petals.

They form a cluster around the stem, with several rings above one another.

I've just got this plant. It's known as a Butterfly Bush (as Buddleia is also commonly known), so hoping it'll be interesting to some butterflies here.

I love this photo. I had no idea the flowers would come out this nicely in an image - I'm really stoked about this one!

Close up of a leaf from a Canna lily. The middle stem is strong and thick, with a good red colour (sorry, I'm a little red-green colour blind so maybe it's not quite how I'm describing it???). The veins are pale, coming out in parallel to each other at an angle to the main stem.

The leaf is backlight by the sun, and between the veins, the flesh of the leaf is different colours, from reds to oranges to greens, to purples.

Cannas are lovely plants with big, soft leaves. One of my favourites...
