HENDRIK-JAN the gardener:
Dear Anna
Today is Mother's Day and I would like to spoil you.
You are the sweetest mother to my son I could ask for.
For breakfast you get carrot juice, toast with strawberries and a boiled egg. Everything from our own vegetable garden woman. The eggs come from our own chickens.
I would like to give you these flowers first.
(Handed flowers).
ANNA: (blushes)
Oh...these cauliflower florets are so beautiful Hendrik-Jan.
You are so good to me...I am so happy with you my dear husband.
Happy Mothers Day!

Zinnia's composite flowers consist of ray florets that surround disk florets, which may be a different color than the ray florets and mature from the periphery inward. The flowers have a range of appearances, from a single row of petals to a dome shape. Zinnias may be white, chartreuse, yellow, orange, red, purple, or lilac.

Enjoy your weekend everyone.

I was fascinated by all the lilac florets on the ground after a long hard rainfall.
When I'm not smelling the flowers, you can find me on Twitter
Obviously we associate Queen Anne's Lace with white umbels. By far most of its wild plants are indeed white, but very occasionally you'll see dark purple florets. Here a close-up of one in the Meuse Corridor Nature Reserve that Olymp spotted this afternoon. I watched it for a while to see whether it attracts different insects than the usual white flowers. It seemed to me the color makes no difference in the numbers and kinds of visiting insects. I saw as many varieties as on white.
Here on our Handsome Purple Umbel is a pretty Sand Tailed Digger Wasp, Cerceris arenaria.
Red Admiral butterfly taking nectar from a Canadian Thistle floret.
Common, but seemingly less abundant this year.
I liked the way the petals seem to stream out from the florets at the center of this sunflower...made me think of a solar wind from a dark star
While they are considered filth flies like the common black house fly, these Green Bottle flies are definiley more photogenic because of their shiny and green metallic body covering. I'm always happy to capture their portrait if they are willing models :)
I found this one feeding deep in the pink Sedum flowers, oblivious to my presence.
Is there such a thing as Fly Art, lol?
I am still investigating the idea of translucence. This is a shot of a purple floret behind blue stained glass.

#FillTheFrame!
Width of the frame: 1,5 cm / 0,59 inches
Please press "Z" (double-zoom recommended) :-)
Last night, I debated with myself whether I fell short of the "Fill the Frame" theme or not. I have not arranged similar-looking things within the frame, and there are some parts of the image that look like free space, but actually aren't, because all of what you see is the surface of an agate "worry stone", the same that I'd captured for the "Patterns in Nature" theme back in July 2019 (please see first comment). So this frame is entirely filled with agate. And especially this agate is full of those fascinating "macro secrets", which is why I keep returning to it for yet another capture. Well, and since I like the outcome, I've decided to risk to add it to the MM group pool ;-) While my photo for "Patterns in Nature" reminded me of storms on Jupiter, this part of the agate to me actually looks like a volcanic deepsea scene, and those super tiny wick-, or even worm-like (giant tube worms! Please see the quote from Wikipedia below) looking "pipes" reminded me of hydrothermal vents (also know as black or white smokers) found around submarine volcanic activity, while those floret-shaped rings all around those "pipes" remind me of some quite intense hot water / lava bubble action ;-)
Here is some very interesting background info on the "smokers" that I'd rather quote (Wikipedia): "Relative to the majority of the deep sea, the areas around submarine hydrothermal vents are biologically more productive, often hosting complex communities fueled by the chemicals dissolved in the vent fluids. Chemosynthetic bacteria and archaea form the base of the food chain, supporting diverse organisms, including giant tube worms, clams, limpets and shrimp. Active hydrothermal vents are thought to exist on Jupiter's moon Europa, and Saturn's moon Enceladus, and it is speculated that ancient hydrothermal vents once existed on Mars."
Like my "Jupiter Weather Report" photo this is a backlit, in-camera focus stack, and I used my Kenko extension tubes (this time the 16 mm extension tube only) and the Raynox DCR-250 Super Macro close-up lens to get closer to the subject. Sharpening and de-noising done in Topaz Sharpen AI and processed in LR and ON1 Photo Raw where I applied the "Natural" HDR filter - ON1's jack of all trades -, and the LUT filters "Keen" and "1975" (each filter with some individual tweaking and sliding).
A Happy Macro Monday, Everyone, and Happy Pentecost Monday to the Flickr friends who celebrate Pentecost :-) !
Some petals were being folded by the breeze...
It is hard to dislike these sun seeking faces of the bright and cheerful flowers.
The disk of a sunflower is made up of many little flowers. The Sunflower florets are arranged in a natural spiral having a Fibonacci sequence.

Purple is one of my favourite colours and allium a wonderful purple flower that is an early spring bloomer...in my garden near the house wall.
Busy Silver-spotted Skipper butterfly taking nectar from a cluster of Wild Bergamot florets.
Common and abundant.
A stack of 11 focus points at a single exposures level. Matt black paper and two LED studio lights were used.
Taraxacum is a large genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, which consists of species commonly known as dandelions. The genus is native to Eurasia and North America, but the two commonplace species worldwide, T. officinale and T. erythrospermum, were introduced from Europe and now propagate as wildflowers. Both species are edible in their entirety. The common name dandelion (/ˈdændɪlaɪ.ən/ DAN-di-ly-ən, from French dent-de-lion, meaning "lion's tooth") is given to members of the genus. Like other members of the family Asteraceae, they have very small flowers collected together into a composite flower head. Each single flower in a head is called a floret. In part due to their abundance along with being a generalist species, dandelions are one of the most vital early spring nectar sources for a wide host of pollinators. Many Taraxacum species produce seeds asexually by apomixis, where the seeds are produced without pollination, resulting in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent plant. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taraxacum
I found and photographed this beetle in our garden.
I used the D600 and my 105mm macro lens.
Attractive with its shiny and metallic colors, the Japanese Beetle is an invasive insect from Asia that has spread to most of North America over the past 100 years.
It is not very destructive in Japan, where it is controlled by natural predators. But in North America, it is destructive to over 300 species of plants.
These are either New York or San Bernadino Asters. I was attracted to their yellow & speckles of orange in the disc floret plus the lavender to darker purple ray florets.
I continue to dabble with colors & light balance for my winter challenge; as each day passes, Spring is that much closer!

Animated male Tawny-edged Skipper butterfly taking nectar from a fresh Bird’s Foot Trefoil wildflower floret.
Common. Can be abundant May-September.
reach for the stars.
larger stars are hoya florets, the rest are artifical. I tossed on the latter. that's how they landed.
the florets came from clusters of flowers on one of my hanging hoyas. It's about 5+ feet long and it crashed a couple of nights ago, slipping its hanger. it's heavy. it landed on a chair full of dolls and left a big mess. it is living in my bathtub right now while I figure out how to hang it again. it's in full bloom and smells like heaven. I have two others in my bedroom and several in the greenhouse that I'd like to bring in for the fragrance.

Juvenile male Ruby-throated Hummingbird feeding on Lantana flowers. They have a great deal of patience as they dip into each tiny floret looking for nectar and insects. Fun to watch.
It seems like we had more overcast days this year than in the past. Probably just my imagination brought home by using a f/5.6 lens. I do miss the f/4, but 300 mm just is not enough reach. However, the 5.6 works great on the D850 and I get shots that I could not have gotten with the D7100 because of the increased dynamic range and better high ISO handling. Thanks for the visits faves and comments. Please come back again.
White Flowering Dogwood florets with a light touch of snow. Let's hope last night's cold snap did NOT wipe out our spring.
Common. Traditionally, our last freeze occurs the first week of May. So there's a chance there's more to come.
