Blowing in the Breeze

Wild flowers

swaying in the long grass

creating soft smudges of colour

petals gently swirling

beautiful at every stage
in this green garden
of softness.



This charming flower can be found in hedgerows or growing in long grass among other wild flowers.
Its name is Greater Knapweed 
and it's a valuable nectar source for insects
and a favourite of many butterflies.

  1. Oh these are lovely shots Sandra, such a pretty wee flower and such a gorgeous colour. Sometimes I think the wildflowers are lovelier than garden flowers.

  3. Wow, Sandra! Macro work at its finest! Such soft backgrounds, but sharp details on the flowers, and the faintest petals look like twirling skirts. Lovely colors! Wishing you a lovely weekend.
