A slightly prickly timeline cleanser today. It's a Blue Sea Holm, or Eryngium maritimum. Even though it has finished flowering, it remains a beautiful plant. The root is medicinal and was used as an aphrodisiac. Whenever I'm in my favorite nature reserve, I always look for it. It's a rare plant there, but thankfully it's spreading.

The soft sun rays caress the prickly leaves, a beautiful contrast. Thistles still look beautiful when they have finished flowering, as does this one.

Red clovers Trifolium pratense in a bit of an art like form for today's timeline cleanser. As one can see, the tiny flowers on the flower head start blooming from outside in. Bees love to visit these flowers and for humans it is also a useful plant. These days in contrast to 40-50 years ago, the sizes of these plants seem to be increased. Thanks to the higher levels of nitrogen.

Red clovers are actually pink. There are a lot of tiny flowers on the flower head. These tiny flowers look a bit trompet like and are blooming from the outside in. Four leafs surrounding the flower head. Three of them pointing at the top right of the picture, one to the middle bottom. There is a very small orange brown insect visible on the flower,  probably a little lice or something. The background is blurred.

Pulicaria dysenterica for today's timeline cleanser.

When I visited my favorite nature reserve again after a long time, I came across these cheerful, sunny flowers. Their soft leaves reveal that these plants are gentle with us. A plant that heals. Like so much of nature around us. Nature to cherish.

Yellow sunny flowers in a dark green, blurred background.

Verbascum nigrum

This beautyful fresh wild flower is today's timeline cleanser. I love the colours of these edible flowers. The picture is taken just after the rain. The plant in bloom is easy recognizable but don't eat what you don't know.

Two plant stems with a yellow flower on the right. The heart of the flower is lilac and looks hairy with orange pistils in between. The background is faded and is mainly lime colored. Drops of rain cover the flowerleafs

Vicia cracca

This common plant likes to be among the grass. There are a lot of different types, so a field guide is needed to distinguish them. This small plant with feather-like leaves was also used in the past to staunch wounds.

That wounds, in whatever form, may be stopped by seeing these beautiful flowers.

Macro of tiny lilac flowers in a vertical row. Only one is really sharp.

Today the thirth of the Peony series. I'm still amazed by the colours of this one. Unedited like the rest. Nature doesn't need editing it only needs to be loved 🩷

#TimelineCleanser #Bloomscrolling #naturephotography #macrophotography #garden #peony #unedited #PlantPortrait #naturelover #WonderfulWorld

The heart of the Peony flower. The stems and a few leafs are visible. Although white they show beautyful pastel colours like pinks, yellows and lilacs in between. One leaf looks like a wave rolling over the stems.

Birds in a nest

The first picture of a series of 3 about the Peony. If I were to make a top 10 of my most beloved flowers to photograph, the peony would have a high place. Despite the fact that it mainly consists of a white shade, all kinds of colors appear when photographing. The photos have not been edited. I hope you'll enjoy.

Peony, a mainly white flower with coulored shaded leafs and in the centre what I think are the pink/yello stems but with a little phantasy they look like birds cuddling. It's macro photography.

Hibiscus spec.

A bit of a romantic baroque-like plant portrait as timeline cleanser. Most of them are in a romantic style I guess. For this photograph I used my 180 mm macro lens and since I forgot to take my tripod with me I had to take it out of hand. Still got that skill after all those years πŸ˜‰πŸ˜Š although I really prefer using my tripod with this one πŸ˜…

Orange Hibiscus flower. The leafs look a bit ruffled like they’re just unfolded.

Euphorbia lathyris in macro as today's timeline cleanser. Hope you enjoy this plant portrait πŸ’š

Iris Germanica as today's timeline cleanser. Love these beautyful and delicate flowers. Macro photography makes me forget about the daily worries, wonder into a complete different world and I love it!

This is an oldie but recently I dug out my old camera and dusted it off and it's time for new adventures and discoveries in nature and everything that grows around the house.

#TimelineCleanser #plantphotography #macrophotography #gardenphotography #bloomscrolling #WonderfulWorld #PlantPortrait

Macro of the inside of a  white Iris. Limited depth of field so that only a few of it's stamens are sharp. Makes the picture a bit romantic or dreamy like many of my photographs

Today's Timeline cleanser is an orchid. Dactylorhiza praetermissa subsp. junialis to be exact. This picture is a few years old. They can be expected in my area around May/June and if not looked for they can easely be missed πŸ’œ

Purple/pink arrow-shaped flower consisting of many small flowers blooming from bottom to top. The leafs are light green and has some red spots. The background is blurred and green.

Today's timeline cleanser is a macro of the stem of a lily. The limited depth of field only leaves the top of the stem sharp with the orange pollen as very tiny dots πŸ’›

There are a lot of edible flowers to find. This is one of them.

Paeonia officinalis (but please know what you eat and be sure before eating πŸ˜‰ and how to prepair it. Use different sources like books you can trust.)
