Flowers-Blossom and UK plant art-documentary photography
Only one flower I have seen and don't know it's named.
Saving our nature has been a long winded effort here in the Fens Cambridgeshire, with insects and wildlife struggling so badly we had to try and help some how, people here seems uninterested in nature so at least I'm doing my bit. The nature garden we made consist of a small pond (it's cover over by plants and the frogs love it) that part of the garden is just 5 x 3 feet in size and for it's sizes attracts many insects. the large pond is our fish pond but I managed to get my mother to set more wildflowers and it is now starting to attract the bugs. Total cost with the small pond is just £21, this has helped the frogs which are in deep trouble here and each year we work hard to help the number grow, (2016 just 3 breeding pairs and this year 2018 7 pairs was seen) over farming has caused major issues here in the Fens but no one will ever state this due to the Fens has been past bye by all. Back to the garden, plants are mixed wildflower seeds, most garden centers sells them and even pound shops!, I will post images of the plants that really floats an insects boat later! I found another very important items if you can fit one or two in are old dead tree logs, I'm shocked at the life that has set up home within and around the logs, small burrowing bees, bracket fungi, spiders, moths hide on the bark. For me being a photographer to see the nature stopping by for a snack or setting up home is just a joy, I'm proud I'm doing my part. Will update as the garden grows.
