love the way the petals curl about - great find and capture
It's like it has it's own trumpets to announce itself.
SPLENDID !
Nice flower, super macro !!
Lovely flower.
This is very beautiful!
Fun to see how the petals are formed on a camelia :)
That is a dahlia, Helle.
A lovely photo, my friend!
(I'm picking up, this session, where I left off last time...)
wow, it's not often helle doesn't know a flower! (I, on the other hand, rarely know a flower!) (Of course, you titled it "Dahlia," so Helle must've had a "camelia" on her mind...)
In any case, you caught the real nature of this fluted, almost bell-like flower, with all those little bells or horns coming right out at us. With this Dahlia series, I'm getting a feel for how varied dahlias are---I had no idea until I started viewing this series. A very visceral and powerful shot.
