One of several photos taken in April 2012, of a pendent flower head on a plant growing in a hedgerow in the filtered light conditions provided by overhanging trees near Nanteuil-en-vallée in the Charente. Finally identified in mid August, as Staphylea pinnata with the help of 'Plantaholic Sheila' whose photostream you can see at (

This image taken in soft, dappled light conditions.
For a view of the full flowerhead showing two tiers of flowers and taken under differing light conditions see the earlier image at;
