green macro Fountain Grass 21. September 2025 / 4. June 2026 by Hagen Wendt Pennisetum alopecuroides The fountain grass inflorescences really do look like the old-fashioned lamp-cleaning brushes from years ago. In fact, however, they are not hard enough to scrape soot from old oil lamps with their flowers.Instead, you are encountering this immigrant from Southeast Asia more and more often in gardens and along roadsides—at least wherever it […] Read more » Grass green
green macro Hemp 28. December 2024 / 2. January 2026 by Hagen Wendt Cannabis One encounters this beguilingly beautiful plant more often by its scent than by sight, especially in city centers. This specimen enjoyed an exceptional amount of care in the form of sufficient temperature control, lighting, and irrigation. The result is particularly impressive in the macro view: thousands of sticky trichomes protect the plant from pests, […] Read more » green
green macro Small Teasel 4. October 2024 / 31. May 2026 by Hagen Wendt Dipsacus pilosus The small teasel is typically known as an extraordinarily prickly plant at the end of stems approximately 1.20 m long.

Hundreds of tiny blossoms sit between the prickles, opening first at the sides and then at the top.From above, it […] Read more » green Teasel
green macro Green thistle 4. October 2024 / 4. June 2026 by Hagen Wendt Cirsium canum I discovered this little green thistle in Munich’s Nussbaumstrasse. I was actually only interested in the symmetry, but after the rendering a DUNE sandworm stared at me, with a louse clinging to its teeth in the top right-hand corner.I couldn’t get it out – clawing is probably a core louse skill.

green macro Great Masterwort 21. August 2024 / 31. May 2026 by Hagen Wendt Astrantia major The masterwort is a very baroque flower; for marketing purposes, the small umbel blossoms are framed by numerous equally decorative bracts. Equipped in such a way, it caught my eye in the middle of Gothenburg near the cathedral. At about 5 cm, however, it was not as large as the name suggests. Perhaps […] Read more » green
green macro Morning Star Sedge 13. July 2024 / 31. May 2026 by Hagen Wendt Carex grayi I discovered this ornamental grass in my sister-in-law’s garden, appropriately situated next to a small pond. It would otherwise blend in quite subtly, were it not for its striking morning star seed heads! It is, of course, spectacular – and far less prickly than one might assume. Read more » green
green macro Euphorbia 29. April 2024 / 31. May 2026 by Hagen Wendt Euphorbia Allow me to introduce: Miss Euphorbia! We simply call this picture “The Dancer”. Everyone then knows it refers to the bizarre appearance of the lady in green with multiple feet. These blossoms caught my eye on Maistraße in Munich. Euphorbia blossoms can always be photographed, yielding consistently diverse motifs. Read more » green
green macro Traveller’s joy 9. August 2023 / 31. May 2026 by Hagen Wendt I discovered this tiny, fidgety fruit in a hedge on the Isar River in the north of Munich. It is easy to photograph, but very time-consuming to cut out. This climbing traveller’s joy looks as if it were cheerfully hopping about—probably what it would most like to do. Read more » green
green macro Wild Teasel 5. August 2023 / 31. May 2026 by Hagen Wendt Dipsacus fullonum We call this image: The Poser. I discovered it on the North French coast just before Honfleur. It was very windy that day, so I could only take the pictures in the tent. As the night progressed, it became increasingly stormy, until we had to move to a slightly less windy spot. What […] Read more » green Teasel
green macro Wild Carrot 25. June 2023 / 31. May 2026 by Hagen Wendt I discovered this tiny plant in the meadow behind my sister’s house. It was only the PlantNet app that identified it as a carrot plant. The spiky outer leaves appear to protect the flower umbel like claws. Upon closer inspection, one can observe the delicate, still-closed blossoms. Read more » green
