Sanicula europaea - Wood sanicle

Where do you as the creator, begin when you decide to create a new flora. I wish I knew because this pretty little woodland flower has so much detail in its form. The small flowers are massed together and form an umbrel, the outer flowers in the umbrel are male with anthers/stamen, while the inner ones have styles and ovaries. When fertilised & seeds formed they attach themselves to passing animals fur by little hooked bristles. Clever!
 
It was eerily quiet on the A38 this morning. The dual carriageway closed in both directions since late last night when a pedestrian was tragically killed. I had'nt heard the local news, so was'nt aware when I walked up to the dual carriageway this morning on the way back home with Indie. I could see the police away in the distance in their white protective suits from the bridge, a motorcyclist waiting for friends on the bridge, had done a search as he needed to reroute their rendezvous.
