I love these things. They only last a short while, transforming from the purple ballon-like shapes to blue flowers and then wilting. When they bloom, end of March, it is usually windy, making them hard to shoot. Shot in my back yard, this is true macro, 1:1. To achieve adequate depth of field at this level of magnification, 6 images taken at different focal planes were combined in Helicon Focus in a process called depth of field stacking where the sharp portions of each image are combined to make one image.
