Old Man's Beard


Clematis vitalba.......also called Traveller's Joy.
The French name for old man's beard is 'herbe aux gueux' – the beggar's or rascal's herb. This is a reference to its use by beggars; they used its acrid sap to irritate the skin to give it a sore and ulcerated look - in order to induce sympathy in, and perhaps a donation from, passers by!

Thanks so much for your comments on my furry mushroom! :) Believe me, I was totally blown away that I found the little guy! The first one that I spotted was actually disintegrating but I couldn't even tell until I looked on the computer. I happened to notice a few similar smudges nearby and was able to make out the one I photographed as a mushroom with what appeared to be fuzz on it! YES my eyesight close up is totally incredible. It is my superpower. I am horribly nearsighted but I'll never consider lasik because having the ability to see at this fine level is a total gift to me. And the fact that I'm passionate about macro photography...how lucky am I! :D Recognizing this is one reason I so love to share pictures of the itty-bitty variety. Even the passionate like you cannot see the teensy things to focus on, so I can bring you--whose photography and skills I so adore and admire--on a macro ride at an even deeper level. How cool is that? :D *high five*
Beste wensen............
Frans.
You have presented it so beautifully with soft colours yet so detailed!
