Lawn weeds

I cut the grass today this warm dry spell has meant the lawn hasn`t grown much but the weeds sure have buttercups and daisies and the three I have macro photographed here,  red and white clover and selfheal. They do look wonderful with the camera lens close up

Self heal (prunella)

    Fascinating close-ups. I let the clover grow on my grass paths as it's great for wildlife.

    What a lovely prunella! I am not showing off, but I love self heal's latin name! And they call it a weed!

    Your close-ups show every detail with amazing clarity - plants we take for granted are really quite special
