Stages
I think I did a similar post with a different plant a while ago. The stages of it from a bud to seed. And as I was editing those shots one by one I realized I have what I need here. The buds, the flowers and what is left after the petals are gone (plus a little bonus).
They were all shot at my mums garden one spring. I didn't have to wait long to catch all the staged as they grow fast, bloom short and just keep the green leaves until summer. Then they just dry up and go dormant until next spring.
Those are Anemones by the way. They resemble the ones that grow in parks and woods, but are slightly bigger.
Here is the bonus :)
While they bloom they become hunting grounds for the little crab spiders. Great camouflage I must say!
And when they all have opened, bees and spiders are well feed, they start to fade away.
Trying to stand tall with whatever is left...
...and then they are gone.
Turning their baldy little heads towards the sun.

That image reminds me of my biology class where parasite depends on their hosts for survival. The bees and spiders ..... are parasitic here. Good images of the nectar here.
Simple but really beautiful.
Thanks a lot :)
A m a z i n g, all your photographs are!!

Thank you!
Congratulations on becoming an Orca @ewkaw and welcome to the club 🎉🍾🎉
Thanks a lot :) It's pretty awesome!
Yeah, I remember the feelings 😃
Congratulations, I see you're an Orca now. All this marine life on this site, where are big roaming land mammals like myself? I'll need to create my own badge one of these days and make you an honorary member of the bovine tribe haha
I'm listening to your music pick from Archive. Great choice, I need to do a discography dive as I haven't listened to them in a long time now.
These ones went to the barber of life, a little off the top. Whoops, buzzz. What did you just do to me? No problem, it'll grow back but maybe not so much in this case. Lots to think about as usual.
Yea Thank you! :D
Drinks on me today! 🍸🍸
I actually discovered them very recently with a help of youtube suggestions. I can't say I know them much. Actually I saved just 2 songs, but they are freaking awesome!
😂
Highly recommended. We can do a discography listen and compare notes 🙂. Thanks for the drinks, I'm always up for one
I found one yesterday... that just fits perfectly to some days :D
Oh @ewkaw, now I know you always had a sense of humor but this is great. Now I can get even more saucy up in here and I'm not just talking about a nice red sauce on a dish of pasta either.
Totally agree with those days and this a great pick from them.
Their band name is terrible for the internet. When you search you get The Internet Archive and hard drive backup software of course haha
Bring it on! :D
Haha maybe that was the purpose. Do not make it easy for peeps! Confuse them like hell.
