These are individual flowers of the whorled loosestrife plant. The image above was shot at 1:1 on the film. The individual flowers are about 6-8 mm across. The individual flowers are arrayed at multiple levels along with the multi-storied leaf pattern as you proceed up the plant. Maybe there are twenty or so blooms on a plant about 30 cm high. June 5.

This proud beetle was on a leaf along Buckskull Court. Shot at fee, 1:1 on film. Maybe he doesn't belong with these beautiful flowers, it's just that he is a trophy of my small-game hunting with a Canon. June 9.

The flowers of the touch-me-not. This was near the Bent Tree lake on June 16. The leaves of this plant recoil when you touch them. It grows as a vine, often entwining in other plants.
