Thanks Bart, it sometimes feels a bit lonely here but seeing the (much appreciated) one or two likes I know that at least a few other people have seen the shot. :clap:

Sorry Pieter, I haven't been much in flora lately.
But I recognise the feeling: it's lonely at the top ...

Hopefully this will cheer you up ...

We have a flowering Hamamelis (or Witch-Hazel) in our garden, normally there are plenty of petals in each flower head but this year there's only 4 in every one. So it looks a lot less colourful and spectacular as other years, but still good enough for some close-ups:
