Love your winter scenes on your blog... It's starting to feel like winter here and snow is in our forecast for next week. Snow is pretty, COLD, but very pretty!
Jag har vilda kardborrar som växer som ogräs här och de blir aldrig riktigt fina :( Dina är verkligt vackra men det beror också på att du är bra på att fotografera blommor! Ha det så bra!
What an intriguing subject for a macro. It looks like gossimer strands (almost like spiderweb) is wound around the flower head--great detail and then that surprising punch of pink. Good eye.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. I will return your visit (if I haven't visited you already), but please be patient. I might not be able to do so until the weekend. Take care!
Cactus of some kind? The image in the middle is such a delight to view.
ReplyDeleteThank you Maria! It's a burdock. Kardborre på svenska.
DeleteGorgeous shot of colour. Love all those spikey bits. Burdock sounds vaguely familiar..is it a weed.. pretty if it is!

Thank you Jenni! I believe the burdock is a thistle.
DeleteIt looks like a cross between a cactus and a Scotch Thistle. The details are very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! Burdocks are thistles.

ReplyDeleteThank you Bettyl! Burdocks are thistles, the original velcro flower.

Deletede är kanske inte vackra. Men ger oftast spännande foton. I alla faser.

ReplyDeleteThank you Wayne! They look a little like a cactus, but the burdock is a thistle.
