142 flowers Sea Lavender
Taken in October 2015. Properly known as Limonium, a genus of 120 flower species. Members are also known as sea lavender, statice, or marsh-rosemary. Despite their common names, species are not related to the lavenders or to rosemary. They are instead in Plumbaginaceae, the plumbago or leadwort family. A most useful feature is being able to pick and dry them without losing their colour.
These have been out of water for several days, giving me my own tame floral arrangement which can be admired or photographed as desired. Some fill in light has been provided by a cheap (5 GBP) but surprisingly powerful LED torch. Taken with the 100mm f2.0 Zeiss Makro Planar lens converted to a Sony A mount with a Leitax bayonet.
Best if you press L to view in Flickr's Lightbox and F11 to remove the toolbars.
