Hello Gerard,
to me this is a veey unique sflower shot.
Very beautiful pink on green.
Looks like very sharp from your detailed shot and our nice blurred background.
Beautiful composition of the flowering and non-flowering for comparison.

Foozi

Hi Gerard,
Nice work. Aiming only 3 mm lower and cropping on the right to cut the leaf and it would be perfect.

Good sharpness of this common thistle and clear blurred background.

We have these anywhere and everywhere. As a kid I ran over a few of these Spear Thistle Rosettes barefoot! fuull weight! Oouccch! It was some of the worst pain I've ever experienced, Both Feeeet! I was out of commission for weeks. Very nice from a distance and when they have flowers on them. Cactus!

Hi Gerard,

This is a great photo with an interesting POV.

It seems strange to see a photo of this plant here. In Australia it is considered to be a weed and we dig it out.

It occurs in all Australian states except for the Northern Territory. It is a weed that occurs in a wide range of environments in pastures, particularly annual pastures, cereal crops and neglected areas. It occurs more commonly in light rainfall areas, such as sub-humid cool-temperate regions, where it grows well on exposed moderately warm sites up to subalpine levels, usually on more fertile soils. It prefers heavy soils of reasonable fertility and grows well under irrigation.
