Nicely portrayed, Annie. I can imagine fields of this swaying in the winds.

The yellow is so strong - as is the sneeze desire!

Just an invitation to take part in the F-word challenge. Any photo of something hanging from a chain or rope. There are so many things waiting to be photoghraphed. How about taking a photo of your favourite jewellery. A chain with a pendant or a light hanging on chains from the ceiling. Looking forward to see more photos in this challenge.

Beautiful collage. I used to have a bedroom that overlooked these which were growing in a graveyard when I lived in S. Africa. Thanks for the memory!
