Love that quote Lew! I use it with my parents when I tell them about forest schools.

Ooops, I forgot to enter this month, I have hundreds of flower photos from over the years... oh well... anyway, I voted for #1, I like the way the purple of the flower pops against the green background and the depth of field is fantastic....

Love both #1 and #5 . Ended up voting for #5 because it was a rather unique flower!
Actually, I don't think I've ever seen on here in Canada!

It's a foxglove, or as in Latin, Digitalis.

Thank you! Just did a little research (very little) and I'll have to find out more about whether it will grow in my neck of the woods!!

They grow on my house in Wales like weeds if that's any help. And I don't always have the heart to pull them up. Conditions in Wales.....Damp, shady, acid soil if that's any help. That said there are plenty here in the alps growing wild, but here they tend to be yellow.
