Honeysuckle. Perhaps Lonicera japonica, cultivar unknown.

D850, Zeiss Otus 55, f8, 1/320. Light drizzle.

Fantastic capture!  The DOF setting is just about right, and it looks as if it is focus-stacked.

Japanese plums.

Thank you Akira. This is not a stacked image.

Your image of the plum tree beautifully captures the tree in its' environment:
the light, the fruit, the insect and the care given by the orchardist.

Thank you Bob.  I hadn't realized the bug had been there, until you spotted one!

Ruth has discovered the value of wild plants -- thus we are now treated to various exotic dishes. Here young fronds of Ostrich Fern Matteuccia struthiopteris.

In fact, they were delicious.

Thank you, Luc.  Indeed, the very color as well as the shapes of the clouds made me want to shoot this scene.
