The three stages of flowering of  viper's bugloss  ( Echium vulgare ), also known as  blueweed . Pinkish-red one is just blossoming, pinkish-blue is the mature one and apparently the road of life has ended for a brown one.

Amazingly beautiful flower. I'm not sure, but my field observation shows that it might be  different stage of this (also beautiful) flower .

The  Cinnamon bug  ( Corizus hyoscyami ), also known as black&red squash bug. It was feeding on very interesting denseflower mullein which looks like the human -  see it on the another photo.  The Cinnamon bug is less seen in Poland than  similar firebug ( Pyrrhocoris apterus ) .

The lady or  denseflower mullein  ( Verbascum densiflorum;  also known as  dense-flowered mullein )? The lady-alike look (tall, with skirt from leaves, head and a few hands) of the mullein was a important part of Slavic folklore. This photo isn't good, but I decided to share it, as the look of the plant is flawless.

Autumn intensifies! Yellow-oragne-greenish tree leaves lighted by a warm, late sun on the beautiful blue sky. How I wish it could be daily like that. It was 16°C (61°F) here, so quite hot as for such late season.
