common_natureAnother fascinating flower spotted on today's walk: a Laurestine (Viburnum tinus)! (Thank you again to PlantNet for the identification. I'm hopeless with flower names.)
This was taken with the "macro" mode on my phone camera app! Normally I just use the "portrait" mode to focus in on a bloom, but the macro lets me get closer to tiny blossoms like these ones.
Fun fact from Wikipedia:

In south-east Britain Viburnum tinus is the principal host of the viburnum beetle (Pyrrhalta viburni), the country's "number one pest species" according to the Royal Horticultural Society.
