Ah, the sickly sweet smell of the bog in spring. They claim the powdered root is a hallucigen. Some people have way too much time on their hands. Nice colours, great catch

Just now I've seen your photo "a very magical winter's day" but you don't accept comments on it but I wanna say that it's a wonderful photo with beautiful theme, colors and DOF. Said this now I must say you that it's the first time that I see this plant and I like very much the abstract effect. Thanks for sharing these photos Tina :)
