It is now December and with many plants dead or heading to dormancy, it is a month of eXtreme botany for sure!
Interested to see what younger botanical eyes might make of this season, Dr M passed his camera to his 10 year old niece on Sunday afternoon for her to capture December 1st botany in her Grandmas woodland garden.
Holly and Ivy feature in Ellie’s collection of course, but also the intricate and fascinating forms of autumnal twigs, leaves and fruits, and although flowers are not so frequent, Ellie did manage to capture an opportunistic dandelion peeping through the autumnal leaves.
Dr M says enjoy eXtreme botany in December through Ellie’s bright young botanical eyes and check out the countryside where you live for the eXtreme botanical beauty of Winter!
