Thanks Pieter and the rest! It is very abundant in the prairie fields of Doode Bemde in that time of the year.
Nice find Marta!
Yes, that is my same thought :-)
Amazing! It does look like little Budgie heads! And wings too!
Many thanks Stephanie! I find it very cute because it reminds me of the budgies heads :-)
Beautiful plant, Marta!
