Wildflower series - Wild carnation

in #flowers6 years ago

The grassland is full of tiny little flowers that bloom at different times of the year and these belong to the carnation family. while they aren't as showy as their garden cousins they are well worth looking at closely

Very beautiful flower. In this case it stands out very well on this background and the contrast is nice :)

Thank you

Wow. This is a spectacular shot.

It even looks like a butterfly. I had to take a second look at it to be sure it wasn't.

Thank you! It is a pretty little flower

You could tell me that that was any kind of flower and I would believe you. So many of the tiny wildflowers look the same. It could be an Orchid by the shape. Great photography. Your knowledge of these tiny plants amazes me. 🐓

It helps to have a few good identification books to learn about what is out there ;)

Wow the petals look so delicate and beautiful! What a pretty flower :) never seen one that looks like that

Wildflowers are very underappreciated. You have to look to find them

They are spectacular, the shape and patterns are really interesting with suttle colour.
I am a flower lover because they are all so different.
wild flowers are great beacause they appear from nowhere

And they are only around at certain times of the year, the rest of the time, they blend into the grass

At first glance I thought i was looking at a fairy, then it reminded me of a swan then I thought hey is that real? Never seen anything like it.

Lots of beautiful small things out there if you look carefully ;)

hehehehe

Oh, ohh, it looks like a bird in flight.
Very beautiful.
Happy week, @nikv.
