Kidneywort (Anemone hepatica or Hepatica nobilis)
This week's letter in ABC Wednesday is K.
I had to go through my plant photographs twice, before I was finally able to find something that matches with the theme. My choice for the day is Kidneywort, which is probably better known as Anemone hepatica, Hepatica nobilis, Common Hepatica, liverwort and/or pennywort (according to Wikipedia). Name kidneywort probably comes from the shape of its leaves, which you can see on the foreground, which is quite interesting, because finnish name (sinivuokko) comes from its blue flowers.

Insect
This week's letter in ABC Wednesday is I.
I didn't have any photographs about Ivy and I didn't want to start speculating, which flower has indigo in it and which doesn't. At the end, I decided to pick photograph, which has insect on flower. At the end, I selected photograph about Small Copper (Lycaena phlaeas) on Hylotelephium telephium. This is pretty common scene in a sense that, when you go to photograph flowers with macro lens, you might end up taking photographs about insects that are looking for something from flowers.
