Description
Out in the garden today my fennel foliage was so lovely, delicate and green. I photographed that lovely herb but got carried away once it was in photoshop. Obviously I altered the colour and did a couple of quick manipulations and it transformed into this image. Then two images appeared. The smaller figure is one of a fairy or even an angel. If one views the center more broadly something rather sinister emerges. Who would have thought Fennel could be so interesting!!!!!
Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) is a plant species in the genus Foeniculum (treated as the sole species in the genus by most botanists). It is a member of the family Apiaceae (formerly the Umbelliferae). It is a hardy, perennial, umbelliferous herb, with yellow flowers and feathery leaves. It is indigenous to the shores of the Mediterranean but has become widely naturalized in many parts of the world, especially on dry soils near the sea-coast and on riverbanks.
It is a highly aromatic and flavorful herb with culinary and medicinal uses and, along with the similar-tasting anise, is one of the primary ingredients of absinthe.[citation needed] Florence fennel or finocchio is a selection with a swollen, bulb-like stem base that is used as a vegetable. Thank you for viewing. Barbara Mc Mahon

Thank you very much Nina! Just having a little fun with fennel. It's starting to remind me of an ink blot!

Thank you very much Oiyee! I rarely play around with an image but couldn't resist the delicate fronds of the fennel leaf.
