Our garden is ablaze with colour.
This little narcissus was photographed through a
4+ Diopter Lens, showing how the petals glisten
in the bright sunlight.

Lovely! And, again, I’m fascinated by the similarity in colour between the flower and the leaves, and wonder what pollinates these guys.

Moths are also important pollinators in certain climates.
