Many thanks to Debby for hosting the challenge this week. I know we only did this theme back in February, but in my opinion you can never have too many flower photos!!! I take more photos of flowers than all other subjects combined!!
Here are mine. These were all taken at the National Botanical Gardens Of Wales last year:
1) Xerochrysum
2) Esteva
3) Gaillardia
4) Hibiscus
wow that is stunning.
ReplyDeleteSweet gentle colours
Love the blazing reds and yellows
Lovely macro
Thanks Anders. Those Xerochrysums are really spectacular flowers.
DeleteFantastic makes me feel like summer is not far away, four beautiful examples of your close-up work, Lonely captures Mitch ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks Baz :-))
DeleteThe xerochrysum is so pretty! I love the colors. Wonderful detail in all four. I like the close up of the hibiscus the best.
ReplyDeleteThanks Debby :-)) The Xerochrysums come in quite a range of colours. I was tempted to post four variations of this flower.
DeleteFantastic and mesmerizing. Loved all shots.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nik :-))
DeleteI love all your photos, as always! The top one is my favourite, though the capture of the simplicity of the Esteva bloom (the same word in Portuguese for that flower that has given its name to a good red wine) is awesome. Looking at the gaillardia shot, I realize that flower shot posted by Heidi is not a gaillardia. Perhaps some close relative...
ReplyDeleteThanks Belita :-)) Yes, Heidi's flower does look similar to the gaillardia, but I'm fairly sure is an unrelated flower. I'll try to identify it.
Deletewow all wonderful
ReplyDeleteone and three are my favs
Thanks Heidi :-))
Deletehi Mitch, stunning pics as ever. love them all. bye
ReplyDeleteThanks Nico :-))
DeleteHi, Mitch, I was going Ooo and Ahh and then I saw your bottom picture and it totally blew me away. Sunshine in the heart of darkness. Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThanks Benni :-))
DeleteStunning Macro pictures, you very hallmark of photography is flowers and insects as we know, Mitch. Love them all, but that last one, wow, never ever saw a Hibiscus with those colours and we have quite a few bushes ourselves.
