Exotic orchid? No, it's a thyme flower under very high magnification! It's amazing how pretty and exotic these tiny flowers are. They only measure less than 3mm {1/8 inch} wide. The world from a bee's perspective is rather fascinating! #macro #macrophotography #flowera #pinkflowers #thyme #herbs #raynox #supermacro #gardening #botany #deepgreenpermaculturePlants do breathe! This is the underside of a basil leaf, the little pores are called stomata, they open so the plant can breathe, and close to reduce moisture loss. It's interesting that the veins are translucent, they look like green see-through tubes when viewed this closely. This extreme close-up was taken with a Raynox DCR-250 super macro conversion lens attached to the front of my 100mm macro lens for extra magnification, makes a DSLR camera a bit more like a microscope! #macro #macrophotography #leaf #leafpores #stomata #raynox #supermacro #gardening #botany #deepgreenpermacultureWallflower (Erysymum) flowers close-up photo. Not only are these very pretty but they're also a companion plant for apple trees, boosting their health and vigor. This plant is a perennial variety, much less work than the annual ones. #flowers #wallflower #erysimum #companionplants #macro #macrophotography #permaculture #foodforest #urbanpermaculture #urbanagriculture #organicgardening #organicfoodgardening #deepgreenpermacultureWashington Navel orange harvest beginning at the start of winter. Reputed to be one of the best eating oranges! This is growing on a dwarf tree planted in the garden. #fruit #citrus #orange #orangetree #washingtonnavelorange #permaculture #foodforest #urbanpermaculture #urbanagriculture #organicgardening #organicfoodgardening #deepgreenpermacultureRoses are red, But violets aren't blue. Yeah, sure it rhymes, Though it's simply not true! Love the beautiful silky red rose petals showing through on this flower bud. 🙂 #flowers #roses #redroses #rosebud #gardening #poem #poetry #haiku #deepgreenpermacultureViola tricolour, also known as Johnny Jump ups and heartsease, are an annual pansy that grows in the wild. The whole plant is used medicinally and the flowers are edible, just like other pansy flowers. #flowers #viola #heartsease #johnnyjumpups #edibleflowers #medicinalherbs #medicinalplants #permaculture #foodforest #urbanpermaculture #urbanagriculture #organicgardening #organicfoodgardening #deepgreenpermaculturePink Lady apples are excellent late season apple producing into early winter. They're a cross between a Lady Williams and a Golden Delicious, an Australian cultivar with a sweet crisp taste. 🙂 #fruit #apple #pinklady #permaculture #foodforest #urbanpermaculture #urbanagriculture #organicgardening #organicfoodgardening #deepgreenpermacultureAnemone or Japanese Wind Flower, a delightful perennial, flowering from late summer to late autumn, producing saucer-shaped blooms with delicate petals in white or shades of pink on long graceful stems which sway in the wind above the dark green maple-shaped leaves. These flowers are an excellent autumn nectar and pollen source for bees! 🐝🌼 #flowers #whiteflowers #anemone #japanesewindflower #autumnflower #plantsforbees #organicgardening #deepgreenpermaculture
