Interesting info, Richie. I'm glad that robin stayed outside my house. Love the little flowers and the colors are deep and intense.

The green of the leaves really make the little pick flowers stand out. A wonderful work of art.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

You've forgotten to mention: 'Herb Robert', 'Red Robin', 'Death come quickly', and 'Robert Geranium', Richie, lol.

Although it's used as a remedy for toothache, think one can better visit the dentist from time to time.

Very nice image.

Regards, Cornelius.

Beautiful, Richie!!
Love your narrative as well.

It has these evil sounding names but is also believed to have medicinal benefits (toothache remedy) and a mosquito repellent. I have heard it referred to as Stinky Bob as well.
Seeing it look as beautiful as this I will regard it with extra respect from now on.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
