Sorry to upload such a cliche picture -- another infant sunflower! -- but I just got a new display and wanted to play around and test it out. (See below) I also wanted to post a fresh macro shot for a new group I was invited to join, the wonderful Micro-Nikkor group. This was shot with the 60 macro, no rings, in my side flower bed. (You'll have to view it large to see the single filament.)
I thought the purple leaves were cool, but upon further inspection I found these neat hairs that looked a little bit like strings of diamonds. Even cooler!
It has been a mild winter in Canberra, and the blossoms were both early and abundant. These particular blossoms caught my attention for the pink centers - these are the developing anthers. The flowers were on trees that were 5 to 8 metres in height - probably one of the many Prunus species or cultivars, but I will not try to guess which particular one!
These a bisexual flowers. There are 5 white petals, 15 to 20 stamen (male parts), and 3 pale green/yellow styles (female parts). The stamen are composed of filaments and anthers - the anthers on top of the filaments change color from pink to brown as they ripen, before spilling pollen onto the styles.
