EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we are transported to a picturesque garden in Orvieto, Italy, where nature's creativity knows no bounds. Meet the Scarlet Pimpernel (Anagallis foemina), but not just any ordinary variety - behold its blue form! Up close and personal, we are treated to a mesmerizing view of its stamens. The delicate stamens take center stage in this botanical spectacle. Each anther bursts with vibrant yellow pollen, creating a striking contrast against the blue petals. It's as if Mother Nature herself decided to paint outside the lines! As we marvel at this peculiar beauty, it's hard not to be reminded of the Scarlet Pimpernel's many aliases – from "poor man's weather glass" to "red chickweed". Perhaps these monikers were bestowed upon it due to its uncanny ability to captivate both humans and shepherds alike with its enchanting presence. This extraordinary photograph by Paul Harcourt Davies captures nature at its most whimsical. The Scarlet Pimpernel stands as a testament that even within our meticulously organized gardens, there is room for delightful surprises and unexpected wonders. So let us embrace the bizarre and celebrate this burst of color amidst green foliage. This stunning image invites us into a world where mutant nature reigns supreme – reminding us that sometimes life’s greatest joys can be found
