The plant is Patterson’s Curse, imported from Europe as seed for flower gardens during the 1800s. It is said to have escaped from the garden of Mr Patterson in Albury. It found conditions favourable and quickly invaded pastureland across three states and proved to be toxic to cows, sheep, horses and pigs. Notice the colour of the pollen on the Bees legs? It apparently makes a very nice honey. Enjoy.

There are three colours, Ten digits and seven notes, its what we do with them that’s important.

Wow, I hope everyone looks at the largest size of this image -- it is spectacular! (My only question is, where are the bee's wings?)

We told him to go away... and away he goes, Precious! Gone, gone, gone! Smeagol is free!
Thank you Greg and Ian.
Hey Greg, the wings are hard to see because you’re looking at the edge of them.

I just took the advice above and looked at this in the largest format. I can't get over the detail and delicateness. I second what's been said before, this is an exceptionally fine shot.

"Whatever you're interested in, go for it. You can only find your voice if you're not intimidated by doing stuff that's been done before." Alec Soth
How can something so beautiful be so toxic? As if the world weren't beautiful enough, man thinks he can change it and look what mischief he stirs up. This shot is stunning.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

An amazing macro image. Sharp and clear with good depth of field. It doesn't get any better than this. Bravo.

Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

A stunning photo Robert. The dark background really makes it quite outstanding. I hope I get it in the VB.
I thought Pattersons Curse looked very like our Vipers Bugloss which grows in abundance here, so I looked it up and indeed it is the same plant. It does make wonderful honey :)

Thanks Eve. Vipers Bugloss is indeed the same plant. It is also known as Salvation Jane.

This is a great shot, and a very cool looking plant. How did you get the background so dark? Flash during sundown/rise?

I’m having amnesia and deja vu at the same time - I think I’ve forgotten this before.
