Everybody has a favourite colour.  Mine is green.  No, it’s orange of course!

Anyway, this spring we planted more flowers to attract bees, butterflies and other lovely insects into our garden.  My favourite one though has to be this orange one – a Geum (what an ugly name for a lovely flower) “Totally Tangerine”.  The colours are so vivid it’s no wonder bees are attracted to its pollen – sometimes it’s absolutely covered in them and they seem to buzz around it all day.

So, when this morning dawned dry and (sometimes) sunny, I had to get my camera out to capture it.  Of course, this then led to the wind, which had been totally absent, to immediately rise and blow the flower heads around.  Luckily it stopped for long enough to get this image. 

Hope you like it.
