Do you like my little butterfly?
This week's gallery theme is NATURE. I have to admit I love taking pictures of plants and flowers, and have always been interested in botany. When I studied biology at grammar school, I knew so much about so many of the plants, learnt the Latin names, structure, growth, reproduction, metabolism, development. I always had an excellent mark from this subject. Then I decided to study to become a language teacher. Don't ask me what I remember from my botanical studies now...
Digitalis purpurea
Rosa
Carduus crispusCan you help me with the rest of the latin names?

ReplyDeleteYour floral photos are stunning just lovely. Damn I am never going to get that hamper! Lol (just aawell with #mummyto5k)
What a beautiful butterfly :)
ReplyDeleteAs for the latin names - well to me I tend to go by colour as in red flower, yellow flower, blue flower :)
Your little girl is SOOO adorable! What a gorgeous smile. What a gorgeous butterfly :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the flowers, they are beautiful. Don't know what they are all called, so can't say which one I like best (the one above the rose!)

ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! Afraid I can't help with the latin names but I love the blue spherical ones with delicate little flowers above the rose too! Helen

ReplyDeleteThe butterfly is beautiful :) Really great pictures, I love that third from last photo I wonder what plant that is? x
ReplyDeleteHow amazing our beautiful planet is eh! Great pics x
ReplyDeleteI love the white spiky one as well. It's got such a fabulous texture!
ReplyDeleteI also like the little snail curled up in the yellow bloom. What a pretty place to sleep.
Gorgeous butterfly and fabulous flowers. The variety of colour is stunning. I really love the snail shot, beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures. Makes my pic look v ordinary.
ReplyDeleteThank you for all the lovely comments. The picture of the spiky plant was taken when on holiday in Crete, have no idea what it's called ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat pics. Sorry, can't help with the Latin names. Flowerus Lovleyus perhaps... ;-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful butterfly and wonderful flower pics. Puts my gardening attempts to shame!
ReplyDeleteWow, what beautiful pictures! Love your little butterfly too :-)
ReplyDeleteThat is the prettiest butterfly I have ever seen :) Jen
ReplyDeleteYour little girl is so adorable. Lovely flower pics. I wish I even knew the common names of flowers let alone the latin ones! Will have to get a book so Evie and I can learn together when she's a bit bigger.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful little flutterby you have there! And those other pictures are wonderful, too. I am so useless at identifying plants and flowers!
