The Friends of Gedling Country Park ran a competition for images took in the park. This image won the "Nature Section" and my prize was a bundle of L'Oreal beauty products !
I also came second overall and will receive a framed print of the image.
I thought the flower was a dandelion, but my wife heard somebody in the room questioning whether it was a dandelion.
Anyway, here you have it "a hoverfly approaching a yellow flower"
Well done you !! congratulations . It is of the dandelion family - but I think it is a "hairy hawkbit" - the stem is hairy and not a smooth hollow stem like the dandelion !
I think it is too beautiful for a mere dandelion but after a bit of research, I now think it is. Congratulations for this composition and hope your skin is soft and fragrant now!
I will go with hawkbit :)
@pandorasecho thanks for the very kind words dixie
@annied thanks Annie as long as it's not the other way round ..glowing hair and shining skin !!!
@pandorasecho thanks Dixie 😀📷
thanks everyone , I contacted the organisers of the competition and according to their resident wildlife guides the yellow flower head is a "mouse ear"
