Dracunculus vulgaris, an iris, a saxifrage, and eggs which some insect has laid on my elephant garlic.

insect eggs mostly are when you get close in. I'd need to get closer to see them at their best, but that would take specialised equipment which I don't have at the moment.

That is a brilliant shot Robert!  These do look so perfect the way they are placed - like a little installation! busy_lizzie

That's the question; they look rather like Lepidoptera eggs, but I can't find anything which eats leeks or garlic.

They are so neetly deposited, it's just absolutely amazing.  Let's hope that when they hatch, they will leave soon after.  ;D

They haven't hatched yet. I'm keeping an eye on them because I'd like to find out myself if possible.
