Pink flower with multiple petals and a visible black and yellow insect in the center, surrounded by green buds and leaves. The background features textured, horizontal red-brown wooden planks.

Flowers of the Kampina – Part 3

Summer in the Kampina is a feast for the senses, and nowhere is this more evident than in its wildflowers.

I began with Sagittaria graminea (smalbladig pijlkruid), its delicate white petals catching the morning light, while a honeybee worked busily at the top of the frame. Nearby, the toxic yet beautiful Cicuta virosa (waterscheerling) stood tall, its blossoms framed by a shimmering bokeh from the water behind.

The humble Prunella vulgaris (gewone brunel or bijenkorfje) was next—a true bee magnet. I captured it with my Canon 5D Mark III and MP-E 65mm macro lens, a rare, specialized lens that magnifies from life-size to five times life-size without additional accessories. It’s a tool for those who want to dive into the smallest worlds nature hides.

At the northeast near Huisvennen, I wandered into a sea of blooming clover. My photo shows just one flower, but the meadow was alive with bees darting between blossoms.

The heath is also in bloom, painting the landscape in purples and pinks. In the early morning, unopened buds still held tiny dew droplets—each a perfect lens for the rising sun.

Finally, the Galeopsis tetrahit, here in a pale form with purple specks. While modest in appearance, it belongs to the vast orchid family—one of the oldest and most diverse plant families on Earth.

Next: Part 4 – Birds of the Kampina.

Some local #bee keeper will be getting oregano flavoured honey. The oregano in this corner of the garden has gone wild and it's full of little pink flowers. There are dozens of these bees and also bumblebees all over it. So my tip for a #BeeFriendly garden: plant #oregano . You can even use it in your food 🤪

- save the humming of the bees.
I only found out a few nights ago that moths like these too, as I walked down the path and they all fluttered away before me.
I knew that the globes grow and then reach a point where they become irresistible to flies, and then their casing start to grow blue hair/flowers. which sees the flies ousted and the bees and wasps flock in.
But I never knew of their mothly magnetism.....

Here we have a small corner of a garden, with self sown echinops, that seem to come up every year.
They are curious looking plants, starting out as a mound of green leaves that soon grown spiky and from which emerge long stems. Then the round heads, or globes, from which they get their alternate name of globe thistle, burst open. This picture has a range of heads, some small and still grey, and some showing the blue starting to appear. The bees have found them already though.
They may not be the most beautiful, or the most colourful plants in the paintbox, but they have structure and the seed heads slowly go to brown as the year wears on.
You can cut them down, and keep the seeds, and sprinkle them in another place in your garden ...
Or you can go out around your area and fling them hither and yon, then smile secretly to yourself when they start to grow next year.

Beim Mittagsspaziergang bin ich mitten in der Stadt auf diese Sonnenblumen mit diesen süßen gelben Insekten getroffen 💛🐝🌻
