Blåsippa, Liverleaf, Hepatica nobilis Schreb.
This is the second post of this little beauty. I took this after a cold frosty night. The morning sun was melting the frost and left little droplets. Earlier post and notes.
Here you can see the hairy stems.
I just love this little spring flower.
I hope you like it too.

Great macro. Just love the way these two little flowers have pushed their way through the winter's leaves on the ground. Lovely to see the morning dew on them. Very nicely taken as the hairs are so clear on the stem.

Beautiful Gert! Like Diana says it's great to see the new life peaking through the dead leaves. Very well done. Great colors and sharp details. Everything is perfect and the dewdrops are a great bonus. TFS!

Morning Gert! Well composed shot with great color and light..The moisture and shadowy light give it an early morning feel. Thanx and well done my friend!

Excelent closeup of these two flowers. They have a beautiful periwinkle color.
Excelent composition and details.

Now I can see what you mean with the leaves. Another exceptional flower shot, Gert. They are lovely and I am happy its spring over there.

great sharpness and background for these beautiful spring flowers.

I just bought a macro lens to my new camera so I´ll have to go out this weekend and see if I can find some Liverleafs myself!

Especially poignant in this shot, are the old dead and dried up leaves being pushed aside by the beautiful fresh new shoots of springtime. Great composition, lighting and imagery captured in rich colors Gert. Exceptionally well done,thank you.

Lovely shot Gert. The colours are beautifull, the details on the stem perfect. Nice and sharp. If you look closely, it looks like the one on the left is protecting the broken one on the right.

Beautiful flowers! I liked the dews...
Details,colors and light are wonderful...TFS

I really like this flower also, it reminds me of the crocus we have here. The color is very striking against the brown leafy background. I love all the little "hairs" we can see, the dewdrops, and the angle of the flower stems. Super!
