Reaching the end, but still so lovely.

I have thousands of photos of UK plants, so I thought I'd post one a day to just brighten things up a bit. Here's Coltsfoot, an early flowerer where the Dandelion-like flowers arrive before the leaves to get an head start on attacting pollenators. The flower head is actually hundreds of flowers that have turned into thin strips and "joined forces" to make one large "flower" #FlowerADay #Botany #Flower #Nature

Surprise!
Some surprises are really exciting, and this was definitely one for me. I had seen this plant growing at the corner of the house under the crab apple tree the last year or two and I had almost pulled it out as a weed as it just looked strange. I guess I never got around to tidying that section of the garden, with so much to do everywhere else. So this year, when it started to grow, I thought I would keep an eye on it and get rid of it, if it seemed to be taking over, especially as it had these odd black balls growing along the stem at the leaf junctions. Long after our Asiatic lilies had finished flowering, I noticed that it seemed to have lily-like long buds appearing. I still wasn't convinced it could be anything noteworthy as we hadn't planted anything there and so why would there be? Then I saw the buds developed a tinge of colour and began to get excited. A couple of days after, there was this gorgeous Tiger Lily flower, in all its glory. What a wonderful surprise it was and I could hardly wait to share it with you all.

Wishing you all a day with some good surprises just like this one.

This flower can be seen full size along with the others in my gallery by going to the Flower Almost Every Day Gallery here: https://www.elliekennard.ca/ekgallery/flower-a-day-2024/
