Thank you, Tobie! One of my favorite wildflowers

Thank you, Tobie!

Another try for a full shot of horsemint (lemon bee balm) taken in a brief “calm before the storm” coming in late this afternoon.  One of my favorite Texas wildflowers, I love its beautifully purple & unusual tower of petals.

Fabulous shot, @tobiepsg! Thanks so much for sharing. I would think I had died & went to heaven with all the natural wonders you have in South Africa! The daisies are simply spectacular, I love it when the wildflowers cover the landscape. Your friend’s joy expresses it perfectly.

Thank you,Dahlia! It’s nice to know you see a face too ☺️

Fabulous lightning shot, Pat! Kudos on your well-deserved POTW : )

Beautiful shot & fascinating story, Dave! I’ve heard of rent-a-goat businesses but didn’t know the goats ate wildflowers. Although come to think of it, isn’t it a running joke that they’ll eat anything? I’m curious, what color is this bloom? We have some wild blackberries here that are white.

Great shots of flowering cactus beauties, Ken! Thanks for sharing. My fave is the bee shot, you nailed it at the perfect moment!

Thanks so much, Dave! I’m a late bloomer lol

Thank you, Jasenka! I love it too : )

I love cosmos, great shot!

Thanks for your comment, Federico. Yes, cinnamon & eucalyptus are both colorful & curl when their outer layers peel away. Fascinating!

Lemon bee  balm also known as horsemint

Purple thistle

Fantastic shot, Patrick! I agree with Jasenka’s pick & description, it’s superb POTW. Congratulations!

Thank you, Diane!

Thank you, @r1ch!

A truly fabulous set of poppies, Jasenka! These are huge compared to ones I’ve seen here in the US. It’s amazing to see their height & the size of the huge pod cupped in your hand, wow! Thanks for sharing. : )

Wow, fantastic shot, Michael! Thanks for sharing & also offering your confidence in your Olympus EM5-2 for its options. Good to know, I’ll check it out!

Thanks for your thoughts, Rob! I’m learning it’s nice to have options & am glad I hung onto my old equipment. I don’t have an iPhone yet, but will keep it on the list of options for my future. Traveling light is a definite advantage!
