          Lovely pics, especially the Cardamine pratensis. Looking forward to sighting the lovely orange tip butterfly (Anthocharis cardamines) sitting on it (long time not seen it though).

                  Hi @Papi Jo
                  Thank you for this thread, which I have just come across. It's an incentive to get looking more closely again.

                    Lovely images @pitter-patter. Like the 'composite' approach which I assume you have to save before uploading? Is that an Epimedium flower bottom right by any chance?

                      Thank you, @LunarSea. It is an erythronium ‘Pagoda’.

                      I’ve just selected ‘small’ images before uploading from my iPad - the website arranged them like that. The arrangement looks different when viewed from the phone. I find that there’s a terrible loss of sharpness and detail when I upload and I was trying to see if there’s a way around this issue.
