... show the dry parts of the same plant.
This is the dry grass. The Briza media grass. A plant that grows in sunny open meadows, often near the sea.
The plant shown in this photograph grows on stony terrains very close to the sea. Often on the edge of the intertidal zone. The name of the species is Limonium narbonense.
Here you can see what looks like a dry flowerhead or seed pod of some interesting plant that I wasn't able to identify. The thing looked almost like a fresh flower in the backlight and from a certain angle. Definitely an interesting subject for photography. In the following photograph ...
... you can see something that looks very similar. Maybe even a detail from the same kind of unidentified plant. Can't tell for sure.

These three red autumnal leaves ready to fall down on the humid ground belong to the Cotinus coggygria, the deciduous shrub that grows in the inland northern parts of Istra, seventy to hundred kilometers from my hometown near the sea.
This is the silhouette of the Limbarda crithmoides. Limbarda crithmoides is a plant that grows in salt marshes and on coastal rocks.
This grass, the Setaria pumila, can be found in all kinds of lawns and meadows here in my area.

Despite what the title suggests, you won't see only plants here. You'll see a couple of mantises too. The mantis in these two photographs, and the mantis in the following vertical shot ...
... are the same mantis, actually. An adult male of the European mantis (Mantis religiosa). The insect was photographed while resting on the Cichorium intybus plant.

Here you can see two Empusa pennata mantisses. Two young wingless nymphs of that species. The one on the left was photographed on the bark of the pine tree, while the other was well-hidden in plain sight on the Rumex crispus plant.

STOPI liked this collection though not just one stood out for me. I think it was the capture of light I liked.
Great work ,the photos of the plants portrait beautifully captured the delicate details and natural elegance of the plants. The composition is well-framed, allowing the viewer to focus on the intricate textures.

@borjan Woahhh! These photos are amazing! Applause 👏
Your photographs show how beautiful these wild flowers are. Some are familiar to me but just passed by it without giving an attention 🤣.
Maybe, the next time I would pause for a while and appreciate them too!
Cool click's. As I have been working on this platform for the past six months, there are very few people who make such beautiful pictures. I like your picture very much.
The plants are looking very beautiful
Honestly, you know how to take very good pictures
Beautiful wild plants. There's a lot in here too but you capture them nicely.
Y hablando de hojas otoñales acá están desprendiendo muchas hojas por el tema de las lluvias.
