Good Morning,
The sky is gray and clouded outside and the humidity is 96%, it looks like there wil be a lot of rain again today.
But before the rain i went into the garden to capture some photos of flowers and animals in the garden.
Lets start with some flowers
The Lily of the valley or as we Dutch call it Lelietje van dalen the scientific name is Convallaria majalis , i planted these 5 years ago and this is the first time they are flowering in my garden.
the flowers are very small +/- 1cm in diameter and low by the ground so hard to get the camera underneath it and still make a nice picture of it.
Using my other camera and other lens i was able to get better magnification of this tiny flower.
here you can see the pollen inside the flower
The tulips are still flowering along the garden path they changed colour from yellow to pink as you can see in my other post here , just incase you missed it.
The Clematus of neighbour is still flowering and garden wild life is still using it as you will see in a moment .
This tiny flower was bussy unfolding it self for the sun you can see the pollen and piston
More pollen from a different flower
Something has been chewing a hole in my dandellion seeds
and then there was this .. a flower but of the
Dicentra spectabilis 'Alba' it's a white variety of the Lamprocapnos spectabilis / bleeding heart
Next up insects and Spiders..
the spider and the bee , the crabspider caught him self another bee this morning.
Last week he also caught one as you can see in this post here
Once the spider has bitten ,the bee get's poisend and paralysed .
And when i came back with the ultra macro lens and camera the spider had already started to suck the juice out of the bee from his ass.
And finally i saw something crawling in my lavendula, looks like a larva of some kind but i was unable to identify it.
that's all folks for today hope you enjoyed it .
