I've never seen such pretty fungi!! They look as though someone has made them little lace skirts.

We had a frost last night that killed off all my impatiens - so much for the 'better' weather.

Very lovely flowers, greenfairy.
What is the fourth one down from the top? It sort of looks like a species of the "Queen of the Night" plant.

The mushroom is a curious thing. I would like to see that in real life. Is it edible?
