I went through some recent flower photos to find an entry for the the Deranged Photography Contest - Flowers Theme. I had a hard time choosing, but finally decided on the first shot. I'll post a couple of "also rans" at the end of the post.
Olympus E-M1 Mkii, 1/320, f/2.8, ISO 200
This is my choice for the Pro tier of the contest. It's a type of butterfly bush. I call it an "orange-ball tree" but the scientific name is buddleja globosa. This unique flowering bush comes from South America.
Below are a couple of other photos I had considered entering. I'm including them here as part of my policy of providing more pixels per post!
All photos are by me,
