Beauvais Close-ups

Hello everyone I have, admittedly been neglecting my blog, although by the same
 token, muts say that's it's not on purpose ... I'm busy with a  lot of background work
in getting {Gena D Photography}  off the ground, and sadly at times, certain things
 need to take a back seat.  
Anyway .... onto the task at hand ... here is a selection of close-up shots taken
this weekend ....

Coneflower

this gorgeous flower is commonly called a coneflower.

It's one of a few types, and this particular one is also known as

 Echinacea - the medicinal flower

being used in homeopathic remedies for colds and flu, amongst other things...

I took these images at the annual Herb  Happening on the Doonholm Farm -

a local nursery that specialises in (amongst other things) herbs.

They have a great herbal labyrinth - really worth replicating in your own

garden if you have the space, and well as a Monastic herb garden

(in the original layout of monastic gardens)

a butterfly was kind enough to "pose" for me ....

I guess this is why it's called a coneflower???
