This second lot are a mixture of odd succulent types plus others - as well as insects. Some of these and the last batch of pix I posted are introduced species which have become totally assimilated into the wild landscape. Some were once wild then cultivated for the garden and later escaped back into the wild.
They are all fascinating things that have caught my eye and make me marvel again and again at the beauty of the natural world. Give me a flower over a cathedral any day!

| Annual mercury (Mercurialis annua) |
 |
| Green on green. Rock samphire (Crithmum maritimum) |
 |
| Sun Spurge (Euphorbia). More green on green - I love green flowers |
 |
| Sea Campion with its patterned 'bladder' |
 |
| So delicate - what insect wouldn't want to explore this shadowy chamber |
 |
| Bloody Crane's-bill (Geranium sanguinem) |
 |
| Birdeye speedwell (Veronica persica) |
 |
| Common knapweed |
 |
| A mixture of fragrant heathers with a predominance of Bell Heather |
 |
| Common heather (Calluna vulgaris) |
 |
| Ribwort Plantain. Their flowers are so delicate and attractive to insects |
 |
| Hemp agrimony 'raspberries and cream' (Eupatorium cannabinum) |
 |
| Pretty rose but it was the Hover fly that caught my eye. Peer into flowers and you never know what you’ll find. |
 |
| Rather sweet these two sharing the nectar of this pretty daisy but seconds later the butterfly saw off the 'bee'! |
 |
| You may not want these in your vege patch but it is all about maintaining a balance in the food chain. |
 |
| No fires in this lichen encrusted rocky place! |
 |
| Tiny shards of light from the water droplets captured by this spiders web sent me back for my ‘camera’ |
 |
| Fungi, Nature’s most efficient recycler. And just look at the range of wonderful bark textures |
