Andrea B. Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 These are lovely photographs, Werner.I've returned to look at the Visible f/22 several times. The background is so interesting. And the light is so beautiful.In the UV I'm enjoying the f/11 version. It was interesting to have a series posted which involved the same subject at different apertures. Minor Edits: I added the missing botanical author for M. moschata. And I moved the page link to be part of the initial reference line. Do you have a common name for this flower? Link to comment
nfoto Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 The Norwegian name is 'moskuskattost' which directly relates to the scientific name. It is not native to Norway, but widely introduced and persistent on road verges and semi-natural meadows mainly in the coastal districts. The flowering starts in late June and can continue to mid August. The pollinators simply love this species. Link to comment
Alaun Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share Posted June 18, 2015 I have put the common names from Bjørn and from wikipedia into the post. The german name is similar close as the norwegian one. The flowers produce a very nice, soft, sweet smell, which probably comes the name from and which I assumes comes the attraction for the pollinators from. Andrea, the nice background is my dirty (rain splashed) kitchen window ;-))) Link to comment
Andrea B. Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 And doesn't it make for an interesting, textured background for the Musk-mallow? ;) Link to comment
