A day with wildflowers - Amazing Nature

in Amazing Nature4 years ago (edited)

Showcasing some wildflowers in my garden, that I have seen since childhood. I thank for @adalger and Amazing Nature community for its theme's contest. I was busy all day searching for them with my poor smartphone camera, trying to give my best with it :)

Link of the contest can be found here

I didn't realise them to be a true beauty, untouched, uncared, and unnoticed by many like me who had never glanced into them so closely before and thought them to be a part of the rubbish bush but the story was different as they are an amazing part of amazing nature.

Great collection of flowers ^^ I really like the way that you are naming them with a little comment to each one ;)

Thank you so much 😀

You did a lot of work to find all the names of the flowers - very nice pictures :)

I'm a very newbie to the world of flowers as I don't know the english names of very common flowers and was just searching out for them in the internet.

Thanks! 😁
