Photo of the Week 51 – Marsh Willowherb

I’m a little bit late again this week, though I’m a day less late than I was last week … so progress at least

Anyhow, the photo I’ve chosen for this week is one I shot last autumn along the towpath of the Royal Canal near Maynooth, or, to be more precise, between Pike’s Bridge and Deey Bridge. This is a closeup of a single Marsh Willowherb (Epilobium palustre) flower.
