A close-up of a snowdrop flower, its white petals speckled with dew, against a dark green background.

A close-up of a snowdrop wet with dew, with other out-of-focus flowers and terracotta colours in the background.

A close-up of a snowdrop, clustered with a couple of other snowdrops, against a dark green background and a curve of terracotta.

A cluster of purple crocuses with bright-yellow stigmas, against a backdrop of pale brown fallen leaves.

A cluster of bright purple crocuses, some open, others just beginning to uncurl. They have pale green leaves, and a textured brown leaf curls up the left-hand side of the image.

A solitary cluster of pink cherry blossoms at the end of a branch covered in little pink buds ready to burst open, against a blue sky. Each bud has a little green-yellow dot at the end, the stigma poking through.

A large cluster of pink cherry blossoms, open to show the darker anthers within.

A dense cluster of open cherry blossoms, forming a spherical shape against a flush of green leaves bursting out behind it. The background is pale grey.

A chaotic profusion of cherry blossoms, in various degrees of focus, a medley of pink against a grey sky.

A dense cluster of white and pale pink cherry blossoms, on a branch where little green leaves are bursting forth beneath the flowers.

A whole swathe of pink flowers, from a little further back, lit by golden sunset. The surrounding branches are thick with pops of leafy green.

A branch heavy with little pink flowers, lit from the side by a golden sunset. The sky is pale blue beyond.

A tight cluster of pink cherry blossom flowers, on a single branch extending from an out-of-focus mass of pink flowers and a blue sky.

A bright yellow day lily in the sunshine, its petals spread wide. Behind the flower, out of focus, are multiple branching stems with other flowers in various stages of opening.

A close-up of a cluster of African daisies, each with gradiented orange petals and a central disk of pentagonal purple pillars.

An exceedingly vivid pink flower with large splashes of white across its petals like a supernova. The centre of the flower dips like a diagram of gravity distorting spacetime, with deep purple colouring within.

A macro photo of a white-and-green clover flower. It's a profusion of spade-shaped white petals attached to green sepals and rhubard-red stems leading back to the central stem.

An extreme close-up of a pink flower and the bright orange stigmas and stamens at its centre. The foreground is out of focus bright pink, while beyond that numerous orange pillars rise out of a cluster of low-lying nodules.

A macro photo of the base of a vibrant pink petal, where a jagged discontinuity segues to pencil-wood brown. Bright yellow stigmas rise from the bottom-right, and a scattering of white pollen speckles the petals.

A macro photo of the inside of a flower, viewed between out-of-focus pink petals, curving upwards. Within, a forest of golden stigmas rise above a carpet of rolling golden shapes.

A macro photo of a pincushion flower. It's a densely packed agglomeration of tiny lavender-coloured petals and white-tipped stamens, which drop out of focus towards the edges of the image.

A close-up of an African daisy from above, its many orange petals radiating from a dense cluster of purple pillars at the centre of the flower. Some of them are topped with bursts of orange pollen.

A gloriously-orange flower, with black marks at the base of each overlapping petal. The sun is bright and warm, and the background is shades of green and brown.

A close-up of a ringlet butterfly, perched on a clover flower with the sun just grazing the tips of its wings. Its wings are pale brown, with a light grey fringe, and have multiple black spots ringed with pale yellow.

A macro photo of an iridescent fly perched on the tip of a green leaf. The fly has deep red compound eyes, and short black hairs growing from its green and gold back.

A bright yellow flower, with streaks of reddish-brown along the central line of each petal. There's a ring of dark brown around the yellow centre of the flower.

A snapshot of treetop in the golden evening sunlight. Branches twist and turn through dappled light, and many-lobed leaves are cast in shades of green and gold.

A curtain of vines and fragile branches in the evening light. Green leaves with serrated edges catch the light against a backdrop of out-of-focus foliage.

An evening sunbeam cast upon a forest floor covered in greenery. A nettle stands above a sea of low green leaves, and a small sapling stands like a vast tree above the scene.
