Lars. Your medical plants remind me: I must attend some visits to our botanical gardens soon.

i love this magic of the Shamanic roots leafs berries blooms....

fascinating.

Thanks Frank - the diversity of plants is quite fascinating and botanical gardens are interesting.

Speaking of special plants and botanical gardens - the botanical garden in Copenhagen have had great success with a very special plant that just had the 3rd flower flower since 2012 - the Amorphophallus Titanum. The latin name that includes "phallus" has given it its Danish name .. but in English called "corpse flower" because it smells like rotten flesh .. not a charming flower.

It was 191 cm when it reached its maximum height in Copenhagen. There is a time lapse video..

Very interesting collection of Toxic plants, Lars.  By the way, the Golden Chain Tree is also poisonous

We got one of these in Bonn. It attracts visiors like flies and smells like a rooten cadavre: http://www.botgart.uni-bonn.de/titan2016.php

Thanks Frank .. I like your school party shots of the band.
Your bird series also nice but what a poor looking bird in #107, 3. and 4.   
June 12., I actually managed to get a bird shot today - a lazy dove outside my bedroom window was my luck.   

Thank you. This wood pigeon looks VERY greenish ... nice details....

Thanks John. Yes, a normal garden can be a scary place if you take a closer look ..

Yes, it must be the surrounding light .. or the pigeon was wearing camouflage of some sort
