EDITORS COMMENTS

With its vibrant pink petals and intricate patterns, this widespread grassland dweller knows how to steal the show! Nestled among the lush greenery of Bristol's picturesque landscape, this cheeky little flower seems to be winking at us mischievously. Its resemblance to a buzzing bee is no accident; it has evolved over time to attract pollinators like bees who mistake it for a potential mate! Talk about clever deception in nature!
