This flower really is a weed – it’s everywhere in these parts, nondescript, long and leggy and waving in the breeze.
But through its many forms and stages, I always find its umbel interesting, for its constellation of parts:
…and for its structural genius, with an array of solar collectors arranged in fractal iterations:
…for the detail in its center, the blood-red blossom where Queen Anne’s needle missed its stitch:
…for its angelic blush on first opening:
…and for how it Plays Well With Others:”
But that’s another post.
I have really been remiss in commenting on so many posts these days. But I do view most whenever I can. I saw the picture of Queen Anne and just had to visit. It’s my all time favorite “weed”. And I don’t coose favorites easily.
Your pictures, as always, are so beautiful.
“Plays well with others” is the perfect way to speak of it.
I am going to make a comment also. I should have a long time ago. I absolutely love your pictures. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.
