Two Plants and a Dragonfly

During my first tour of the “Orti Urbani” my friend Ephraim was my guide, then he introduced me to Gabriele, the “botanist” of the gardens, who showed me a lot of plants I didn't know of, in a still untouched part of the land. Sadly, I was able to photograph and remember only a few. “Rosa canina” “Iris foetidissima” OK, that's not a plant and the picture is far from perfect, but the beast wasn't easy to catch...

Your patience paid off, VP.

Great work with the dragon fly! They are hard to photograph!

Wonderful shots. I love the dragonfly.

That is a very good dragonfly photograph. I don't even try. Too fast for me.

Beautiful shot of the gossamer wings.
How can anyone remember the Latin names of plants??

The dragonfly is well catched, VP, and I like also the “Iris foetidissima”, a plant I've not seen before.

I think the image of the beast.... is well done.
Strange creator!:)

It can be tricky to hunt down dragonflies, but you do probably need the exercise.

Like those red seeds within the pod.

Did you eat any of the rosehips?

This is a marvellous series VP, bravo!
