Flowers have always had the power to enchant, calm fill the mind with feelings of happiness and love. For me there is nothing like stepping into my garden and taking a fill of these amazing mood enhancers to make my day. The power of flowers to capture every sense sight, smell, taste etc. is amazing. When I was a little girl I would eat tamarind flowers, the tangy taste always had me begging for more. I love the peppery taste of nasturtium which I only recently discovered, roses have always been in our food for centuries.
Here are some flowers you may or may not have seem in macro. I just had fun doing this yesterday. Take a closer look when you see macro images it opens up a whole new world.
Flower buds inside a flower? You don't believe me? Amazing design right? Take a look at the yellow dots in the middle of this zinnia at a later stage in the image below.
In this zinnia you would see the tiny yellow buds have bloomed already some are yet to bloom. Nature is amazing right?
Take a closer look at this waterlily, see the way the colors blend and repeat themselves. We could take some lessons for our painting and artworks from here.
A single Hoya flower with a star shaped base soft and fluffy, a jelly like flower in the center shaded in a wine red looks almost edible.
Can you see a little flower like thing on the stamen and the pollen all over the lower petals? That means a bee or some pollinator has visited this flower already.
A bunch of tiny flowers to show how they relate to each other in size.
The crown of thorns flowers with thick jelly like nectar in the middle
The Chinese hat this flower hasn't fully bloomed as yet.
Another Chinese hat ready to bloom.
I hoped you liked my macro collection today.
Thanks for taking a look, I appreciate your interest.
