Late again as usual.
Thanks, as usual, for Carol for hosting at May Dreams. More scans here. Flower scanning directions are here. Click on images for larger view.
Bottlebrush buckeye.
Stachys, Nigella.
Took this little exercise to make me realize how ugly individual monarda flowers are.
I usually don’t scan seedheads until there’s nothing else to scan in fall. But there are a lot of interesting ones around now.
For years I’ve been wanting to try this…I just might get around to it today if I can find some black paper!
I’ll take the monarda.
I think that my favorite is the buckeye… but the monarda definitely were fascinating. At first glance, I thought that they were blanketflowers! Interesting how scans make you look at things differently.
I love your “bouquet” of bee balm.
I love it…the Bottlebrush Buckeye is so beautiful…and I’m loving the seedheads…so fascinating, the variety of them!
