Wild Orchids (Spain)
Out on one of our walks in Spain, we stumbled across these orchids up in the hills. I was so excited to find not just one wild orchid type, but three! I have found a few wild orchids in the UK while out walking the dogs but never with a camera in hand. Spain however is vastly different, wildlife and insects literally just lying around. Sometimes I figured it was just too hot to do anything, for them included. Which was great for photo opportunities (hence the abundance of photos I have from spending just two years there). But these were a real treat to see.

Daffodils
Beautiful and bright flowers, reminds me of my birthday being in the Spring so I always get excited when I see them. My grandparents used to have a meadow nearby which in the spring was covered in daffodils and summer covered in bluebells so they represent happy times. I can definitely see my love of nature started very young.

Sunflower
For a bit of bright on a dull day.

Sweetpea Pink
A lovely flower that reminds me of my grandmother. She had them growing in their garden and would have a small bunch fresh on the table when they were in season. They look and smell really pretty and brighten up the garden nicely.
This is one of the very few photos I have of an organgetip butterfly, they are so quick and rarely land, but this one let me take a few pictures.

Japanese pink anemone
I finally got around to filing the multitude of photographs I have taken over the last 6 years. It’s only now I can start to fully appreciate the amount of different flowers that I have seen. So far I have named over 60 and haven’t quite finished. Sorry if flowers aren’t your thing, there’s going to be a lot more coming up! Starting with the Japanese anemone which we had in abundance in the UK where I used to live. A very pretty flower.

Jatropha flowers
A very pretty flowering tree that was once in my garden. Apparently another common name for this plant is nettlespurge.
