Ribwort Plantain seed head

Ribwort Plantain seed head
Also known as Narrowleaf Plantain. Considered to be a weed (especially by those who are obsessive about their lawns). I just thought it looked cool with the buttercup mickey mouse ears!!

OMG YOUR POSITIONING IS AWESOME!!! :D :D :D Too funny!

You know, I used to dislike this weed, until I began taking pictures of it. As a macro photographer, we become so familiar with our subjects, and up close, this flower is truly magnificent with its collar of beautiful white blossoms that work their way up as it matures, until it has a fluffy hat of them! A stunning beauty, I have been admiring them every day now for the past couple of weeks and marvel at their elegant tiny blossoms. What a lovely picture, Keith.

And a huge LOL to your comment about my Pulsing Pulsatilla...ROFLMAO, I feel the same way you do about the name. You do realize there are WORSE names, right? OMG. WHY, oh WHY must they name flowers after female privates? Well, ok there are boy ones too...

But oh man...it makes me blush when I find out what some flowers or flower parts are called!! YEE GADS!! Forget teaching kids the "birds and the bees", just throw them a FLOWER book and make them learn about the different kinds and why they are named! :D

BWAH HAH HAH HAH HAH, you are going to BLUSH when you see these "Voodoo Lilies"!! ROFLMAO!!! They are really quite cool, but anyone would squeal with laughter at seeing one of these. Keep away from sensitive grandmothers.

LOL........glad you like it Janet.

Thanks also for the hilarious links...........that Voodo Lily looks awesome, but I could almost smell it on the screen!!! I definitely DON'T want one!

I love "rude" flower names...........such fun! That's probably the schoolboy in me :)
