These water lilies in Battersea Park’s Old English Garden caught my eye after yesterday’s rain. The droplets on the lily pads created such beautiful textures against the still water. This walled garden is one of London’s quieter spaces - perfect for contemplation on a spring afternoon. Shot on iPhone, no filters needed when nature provides such perfect compositions.

Shades of Pink: Using my Canon 5D Mark III paired with the Canon MP-E 65mm 5x macro lens, I delved into the intricate details of pink botanical wonders.

Thalictrum aquilegifolium (Akeleiruit)

The first subject, Thalictrum aquilegifolium, commonly known as Akeleiruit, showcased its ethereal lilac-pink flowers. Native to Europe and Asia, this perennial thrives in moist, humus-rich soils, often found in woodland settings. Its feathery blooms, comprised of numerous stamens, create a soft, cloud-like appearance, attracting various pollinators.

Saxifraga hypnoides (Mossteenbreek)

Next, the Saxifraga hypnoides, or Mossteenbreek, presented a contrast with its compact growth and delicate white flowers tinged with pink hues. This alpine plant prefers shaded, rocky environments and is known for its moss-like foliage, which provides a lush green carpet punctuated by its star-shaped blossoms.

Unidentified Pink-Flowering Plant

The final subject remains a mystery—a tall, slender plant adorned with clusters of tiny pink flowers. Initially resembling Lythrum salicaria (kattenstaart), its more compact floral arrangement and elongated stems suggest otherwise.

Capturing these plants required patience and precision, especially given the shallow depth of field inherent to macro photography. Each image reveals the intricate structures and subtle color variations that often go unnoticed.

Geranium phaeum – The Dusky Cranesbill of Kampina

While exploring the serene Kampina nature reserve near Oisterwijk, I encountered the captivating Geranium phaeum, commonly known as the Dusky Cranesbill or "de donkere ooievaarsbek" in Dutch. This herbaceous perennial is native to Europe and thrives in woodland settings, preferring moist, well-drained soils and partial to full shade.

The plant features deeply lobed, soft green leaves often marked with maroon blotches. Its distinctive deep maroon-purple flowers, approximately 2 cm across, bloom from late spring to early summer, providing an early nectar pollinator source.

Photographed with my Canon 5D Mark III and Canon MP-E 65mm 5x macro lens, this close-up reveals the intricate details of the flower's reflexed petals and the crane-like shape of its seed heads, which inspired the genus name "Geranium," derived from the Greek word for crane.

Capturing this plant in its natural habitat underscores the rich biodiversity of Noord-Brabant's woodlands.
