Fox and Cubs

Fox and cubs, Pilosella aurantiaca, is so-called because of the appearance of the open flowers (the fox) alongside the flower buds (the cubs).

Strictly speaking they are weeds, and although they are beautiful, they also spread like crazy if they are not controlled, so we only allow a few in the garden. This one was pulled up and photographed indoors before going in the compost bin.

I am still catching up from a few days off of the web so to speak.
The flowers are lovely with a great colour combination and the well chosen background helps the image so much,

Diese hübschen Blumen wachsen wild in meinem Garten. Da sie mich nicht stören und auch nicht überhandnehmen, lasse ich sie ewähren.
