Your Best Flower Shots

Thank you Ray.

As I said, I nelt down to take it. Getting down was no problem, but I cursed Newton for inventing gravity when it came to getting back up though

There is no way that I could pick out a favorite photo on this thread. There are just too many really striking photos and they are lovely to see, so thank you to everyone who has posted

There are so many excellent pics on this whole site it really is difficult to make decisions when it comes to posting your own pics. But; It certainly makes you strive for higher standards. Have you posted any good statues or memorials lately? No: well hurry up then, they might sadly be all melted down tomorrow.

Thanks - You should definitely give it a try again. There are so many creative possibilities.

Filaree or Storksbill

Thrives in our driveway somehow, but takes a beating at times.

Same plant after it goes to seed and how it gets its common name.

Looks almost mechanical!

Have you watched it while insects were trying to collect pollen?
Some flowers have a dark side to them and can snare legs. Seems a type of milkweed will, to name one.

Interesting and nice photo!

Thank you for the comment. . .I’ve watched a few critters gathering pollen and have not seen any of them having any problems. . .and in fact, bees are all over it without any difficulty.

It is an interesting plant to be sure

Love This!

Found in the local woods. Not sure what they are.
