Milkweed Florets are a bunch of tiny little flowers - It is very hard to see all of the details in each one....This is why I so LOVE Macro...there is a scene within a scene ...Check out that star in the center - who knew? :)

Masterwort
Astrantia maxima
Parsley Family - Apiaceae
Native to the Caucasus, Iran & Turkey
A beautiful and unusual flower that also comes in a variety of color, Astrantia grows to be about 1 to 2 feet tall. The flower is a group of tightly packed florets that are backed by petal-like bracts. This makes the flower look very much like a star or a firework. The leaves look a little bit like Italian parsley or carrots which is not surprising as Astrantia are in the same family as carrots.

Sedum florets.
The sedums are just coming out as we move into Autumn. And the bees are having tremendous fun!
I took this today in the front garden where there are a lot of sedums growing in drifts. I thought the dappled pinks might make it a suitable subject for this week’s Smile on Saturday’s Pretty in Pastel theme.
Although the image lacks a strong composition it does appeal to me as I love the patterns and symmetries of flowers. It’s a macro about a couple of inches across…
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image! Happy Smile on Saturday :)

Developed in Capture One trying to control the saturation (it’s meant to be pastels!) and getting a balance between softness and detail. Tried to take down some of the brighter pinks but kept the complementary green active for colour contrast. Went for as high a key as I could without losing the highlights or the pinks.
Processed in Affinity. Some gentle sharpening with Unsharp Mask. There was already quite a lot of pleasing DoF blur at the edges of the image but I added more with the DoF filter in Affinity; the filter was set to also enhance the Clarity in the centre. Used Curves in LAB mode to flatten (i.e. compressing) the contrast in the highlights.
White vignette.
Finally (playing around) added a white fill layer at low opacity on top to… er… whiten everything. Except not everything because I masked the centre out from the effect. It whitened the edges like the vignette but didn’t have the side effect of increasing the apparent colour contrast there (I think… it wasn’t quite the same anyway).]

Developed with Darktable 3.6.0.
These striking wildflowers reach a height of typically 30 to 80 cm, although on wind-swept coastal cliffs and exposed small islands they adapt to conditions and crouch down low among the grasses. The stems are hairy at the base but more or less hairless higher up, and they bear large spoon-shaped lower leaves with progressively smaller toothed leaves that clasp the stems further up. The flowers are typically between 2.5 cm and 5 cm in diameter, each with up to 40 white ray florets (bearing the outer 'petals' as they are often loosely termed). Propagation is mainly by seed, although on disturbed poor soils Ox-eye Daisies act as pioneers and can also spread via rhizomes, at least until other rank vegetation takes over.

A fading and worn Painted Lady* butterfly gathering sips of nectar offered by a head of Queen Ann's Lace almost microscopic sized florets.
Migrant from the South (Mexico). Does not survive Michigan Winters. Can be common, but uncommon to the area, this year. My first for the season.
* Might be a much less frequently encountered American Lady without the "white dot" in one of the forewing's orange cells. Underwing patterns differ noticeably between the two species. Unfortunately, this one flew away before I could get an image of that part. Anyway, the probability is high it's a Painted Lady. If you care to question it, that's OK.
Anemone coronaria, Spanish marigold, or windflower, is a species of flowering plant in the buttercup family Ranunculaceae, native to the Mediterranean region.
Description
Anemone coronaria is a herbaceous perennial tuberous plant growing to 20–40 cm (7.9–15.7 in) tall, rarely to 60 cm (24 in), spreading to 15–23 cm (5.9–9.1 in), with a basal rosette of a few leaves, the leaves with three leaflets, each leaflet deeply lobed. The flowers which bloom from April to June are borne singly on a tall stem with a whorl of small leaves just below the flower; the flower is 3–8 cm in diameter, with 5–8 red (but may be white or blue) showy petal-like tepals and a black centre. The pollen is dry, has an unsculpted exine, is less than 40 nm in diameter, and is usually deposited within 1.5 m of its source. This central mound consists of tightly packed pistils in the centre, with a crown-like ring of stamens surrounding this, giving the species its specific epithet coronaria. The flowers produce 200–300 seeds. The plants form hard black tubers as storage organs.
Aside from its flowers resembling poppies, the red single wild form flowers resemble the flowers of the red single wild form of Ranunculus asiaticus.
Taxonomy
Within the genus Anemone, A. coronaria is placed within subgenus Anemone, section Anemone, subsection Anemone and is one of five species making up series Anemone, together with A. hortensis L., A. palmata L., A. pavonina Lam. and A. somaliensis Hepper. Within the series A. coronaria is sister to A. somaliensis. This series is a clade of Mediterranean tuberous anemones. It is also the type species for the subgenus.
Etymology
Anemone coronaria means crown anemone, referring to the central crown of the flower, evoking regal associations. The Arabic name is shaqa'iq An-Nu'man translated literally as the wounds, or "pieces", of Nu'man. One possible source of the name traces back to the Sumerian god of food and vegetation, Tammuz, whose Phoenician epithet was "Nea'man". Tammuz is generally considered to have been drawn into the Greek pantheon as Adonis, who died of his wounds while hunting wild boar. The deity is transformed into a flower, stained by the blood of Adonis. Tammuz's Phoenician epithet "Nea'man" is believed to be both the source of "an-Nu'man" in Arabic which came through Syriac, and of "anemone" which came through Greek. Another possible source of the name is An-Nu'man III Bin Al-Munthir, the last Lakhmid king of Al-Hirah (582-c.609 AD) and a Christian Arab. An-Nu'man is known to have protected the flowers during his reign. According to myth, the flower thrived on An-Nu'man's grave, paralleling the death and rebirth of Adonis.
In Hebrew, the anemone is kalanit metzuya. "Kalanit" comes from the Hebrew word "kala כלה" which means "bride", "metzuya" means "common." The kalanit earned its name because of its beauty and majesty, evoking a bride on her wedding day. In 2013 Anemone coronaria was elected as the national flower of the State of Israel, in a poll arranged by the Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel (החברה להגנת הטבע) and Ynet. Each year in Israel there is a month-long festival to celebrate the blooming of the red anemones. During the British Mandate for Palestine, British paratroopers were nicknamed "kalaniyot" for their red berets.[citation needed]
Distribution and habitat
Mediterranean littoral, from Greece, Albania, southern Turkey and Syria to the Sinai Peninsula with sporadic extension east to Iran and west along the Mediterranean shores of Italy, southern France and North Africa.
Ecology
In the wild, A. coronaria is winter flowering and cross pollinated by bees, flies and beetles, which can carry pollen over long distances.
Cultivation
Anemone coronaria was introduced into England prior to 1596, being described in Thomas Johnson's edition of John Gerard's Herball, first published in 1597 and was popular during the time of Queen Elizabeth I. By the beginning of the eighteenth century, breeders in France and Italy had already considerably improved the range of colours available.
Anemone coronaria is widely grown for its decorative flowers, and has a hardiness of USDA zones 7–10, preferring full sun to part shade. Although perennial in its native climate, A. coronaria is usually grown as an annual in cooler climates, from tubers. Planting is usually in the autumn if kept in pots in a greenhouse through the winter or in the ground in spring once the risk of frost has passed.
Cultivars
Modern cultivars have very large flowers, with diameters of 8–10 cm and a wide range of bright and pastel colours, in addition to two toned varieties. The centre is usually black, but may be pale green in white varieties. Stems may be as tall as 40–50 cm, and each plant may produce 13–15 blooms.
Numerous cultivars have been selected and named, the most popular including the De Caen (single) and St Brigid (semi-double and double) groups of cultivars. The De Caen group are hybrids cultivated in the districts of Caen and Bayeux in France in the 18th century, and include 'Bicolor' (red with white), 'Blue Poppy' (blue), 'Mr Fokker' (purple), 'Sylphide' (deep pink) and 'The Bride' (white). Referred to as poppy anemones because they closely resemble the true poppy (Papaveroideae). St. Brigid cultivars originated in Ireland, and named after that county's saint, they include 'Lord Lieutenant' (purple blue) and 'The Governor' (red). In addition to these large groups, there are two minor groups, Rissoana which is very rustic and early blooming (November) and Grassensis with large double flowers that bloom in the spring.

SN/NC: Leucanthemum x Superbum, Asteraceae Family
CN: Shasta daisy
Leucanthemum × superbum, the Shasta daisy, is a commonly grown flowering herbaceous perennial plant with the classic daisy appearance of white petals (ray florets) around a yellow disc, similar to the oxeye daisy Leucanthemum vulgare Lam, but larger. It originated as a hybrid produced in 1890 by the American horticulturist Luther Burbank from a number of daisies. First, he crossed Leucanthemum vulgare with Leucanthemum maximum; this double hybrid was itself crossed with Leucanthemum lacustre. The resulting Leucanthemum triple hybrid was crossed with Nipponanthemum nipponicum, creating an intergeneric cross of species from three continents. It was named after Mount Shasta, because its petals were the color of the snow. Some members of the genus are considered noxious weeds, but the Shasta daisy remains a favorite garden plant.
Leucanthemum× superbum, a margarida Shasta, é uma planta herbácea perene comumentecultivada com a aparência clássica de margarida de pétalas brancas (flores deraios) em torno de um disco amarelo, semelhante à margarida de boi Leucanthemumvulgare Lam, mas maior. Originou-se como um híbrido produzido em 1890 pelohorticultor americano Luther Burbank a partir de várias margaridas. Primeiro,ele cruzou Leucanthemum vulgare com Leucanthemum maximum; este híbrido duplofoi cruzado com Leucanthemum lacustre. O híbrido triplo de Leucanthemumresultante foi cruzado com Nipponanthemum nipponicum, criando um cruzamentointergenérico de espécies de três continentes. Foi nomeado após o Monte Shasta,porque suas pétalas eram da cor da neve. Alguns membros do gênero sãoconsiderados ervas daninhas nocivas, mas a margarida Shasta continua sendo umaplanta de jardim favorita.
Leucanthemum× superbum, la margherita Shasta, è una pianta erbacea perenne da fiorecomunemente coltivata con il classico aspetto a margherita di petali bianchi(fiori di raggio) attorno a un disco giallo, simile alla margherita comuneLeucanthemum vulgare Lam, ma più grande. È nato come un ibrido prodotto nel1890 dall'orticoltore americano Luther Burbank da un certo numero di margherite.In primo luogo, ha incrociato Leucanthemum vulgare con Leucanthemum maximum;questo doppio ibrido è stato a sua volta incrociato con Leucanthemum lacusre.Il risultante ibrido triplo Leucanthemum è stato incrociato con Nipponanthemumnipponicum, creando un incrocio intergenerico di specie provenienti da trecontinenti. Prende il nome dal monte Shasta, perché i suoi petali erano delcolore della neve. Alcuni membri del genere sono considerati erbacce nocive, ma la margheritaShasta rimane una pianta da giardino preferita.
Leucanthemum ×superbum, het Shasta-madeliefje, is een veel voorkomende bloeiende kruidachtigevaste plant met het klassieke madeliefje-uiterlijk van witte bloembladen(straalbloemen) rond een gele schijf, vergelijkbaar met het madeliefjeLeucanthemum vulgare Lam, maar groter. Het is ontstaan als een hybride die in1890 werd geproduceerd door de Amerikaanse tuinder Luther Burbank uit eenaantal madeliefjes. Eerst kruiste hij Leucanthemum vulgare met Leucanthemummaximum; deze dubbele hybride werd zelf gekruist met Leucanthemum lacustre. Deresulterende Leucanthemum drievoudige hybride werd gekruist met Nipponanthemumnipponicum, waardoor een intergenerieke kruising van soorten uit driecontinenten ontstond. Het is vernoemd naar de berg Shasta, omdat debloemblaadjes de kleur van de sneeuw hadden. Sommige leden van het geslachtworden als schadelijk onkruid beschouwd, maar het Shasta-madeliefje blijft eenfavoriete tuinplant.

Leucanthemum ×superbum, das Shasta-Gänseblümchen, ist eine häufig angebaute, blühende,krautige, mehrjährige Pflanze mit dem klassischen Gänseblümchen-Aussehen vonweißen Blütenblättern (Strahlenblüten) um eine gelbe Scheibe, ähnlich demOxeye-Gänseblümchen Leucanthemum vulgare Lam, aber größer. Sie entstand als Hybride, die 1890 vondem amerikanischen Gärtner Luther Burbank aus einer Reihe von Gänseblümchenhergestellt wurde. Zunächst kreuzte er Leucanthemum vulgare mit Leucanthemummaximum; Dieser Doppelhybrid wurde selbst mit Leucanthemum lacustre gekreuzt.Der resultierende Leucanthemum-Dreifachhybrid wurde mit Nipponanthemumnipponicum gekreuzt, wodurch eine gattungsübergreifende Kreuzung von Arten ausdrei Kontinenten entstand. Es wurde nach Mount Shasta benannt, weil seineBlütenblätter die Farbe des Schnees hatten. Einige Mitglieder der Gattunggelten als schädliche Unkräuter, aber das Shasta-Gänseblümchen bleibt einebeliebte Gartenpflanze.
シャスタデイジーであるLeucanthemum×superbumは、フランスギクLeucanthemum vulgare Lamに似ていますが、より大きな黄色い円盤の周りに白い花びら（光線小花）の古典的なデイジーの外観を持つ、一般的に成長する顕花草本多年生植物です。 それは、1890年にアメリカの園芸家ルーサーバーバンクによって多くのヒナギクから生産された雑種として始まりました。 最初に、彼はLeucanthemumvulgareをLeucanthemummaximumと交差させました。 この二重雑種自体がLeucanthemumlacustreと交配され、得られたLeucanthemum三重雑種はNipponanthemum nipponicumと交配され、3大陸からの種の属間交雑が作成されました。 花びらが雪の色だったので、シャスタ山にちなんで名付けられました。 属の一部のメンバーは有害な雑草と見なされますが、シャスタデイジーは依然としてお気に入りの園芸植物です。
Leucanthemum ×superbum ، Shasta daisy ، هو نبات عشبي معمر مزهر بشكل شائع مع مظهر الأقحوانالكلاسيكي للبتلات البيضاء (زهيرات الأشعة) حول قرص أصفر ، على غرار أوكسي ديزيLeucanthemum vulgare Lam ، ولكنه أكبر. نشأت كخليط أنتج في عام 1890 من قبل عالمالبستنة الأمريكي لوثر بوربانك من عدد من الإقحوانات. أولاً ، عبر Leucanthemumvulgare مع Leucanthemum max ؛ تم تهجين هذا الهجين المزدوج مع Leucanthemumlacustre. تم تهجين Leucanthemum الثلاثي الهجين الناتج مع Nipponanthemumnipponicum ، مما أدى إلى تقاطع الأنواع من ثلاث قارات. سميت على اسم جبل شاستا ،لأن بتلاتها كانت لون الثلج. تعتبر بعض أعضاء الجنس من الأعشاب الضارة ، لكن شاستاديزي تظل نبات الحديقة المفضل.
I've admired this wild bush for a long time because of it's bright red stalks, especially in winter. The stalks together with the green leaves look great and now it has a flower burst of many small florets that adds the finishing touch on a pretty bush. Now..... what is it called? I have no idea.

Allium roseum, commonly called rosy garlic, is an edible, Old World species of wild garlic. It is native to the Mediterranean region and nearby areas, with a natural range extending from Portugal and Morocco to Turkey and the Palestine region. It is cultivated widely, and has become naturalised in scattered locations in other regions outside its natural range
Allium roseum grows naturally to about 18 inches (46 cm) high in well-drained soils, and in Europe blooms from late spring to early summer.
The inflorescences of A. roseum are umbels. The loose, fragrant florets are about 3 inches (76 mm) long, having six pinkish to lilac tepals.
The smell and flavour of the bulb is powerful enough to drive squirrels and browsing deer away from gardens, where they are planted as ornamental flowers. For this reason, they are suitable as companion plants to tulips and similar species.

Drôle comme les fleurs fanées d'hibiscus s'enroulent sur elles-mêmes avant de tomber. Ici on dirait que cette abeille aimerait bien soit la pénétrer soit la tirer dans l'eau. Ou peut-être essaie-t-elle tout simplement de se sortir du bain d'oiseaux dans lequel la fleur est tombée. Autre possibilité, l'abeille était à l'intérieur lors de la chute...
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. 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. R_18201
Extracting nectar and pollen from the sedum florets, this honeybee allowed me to get very close and get this colorful capture.
When most other flowers are fading away for the summer, the Sedum plants are just now coming into their glory, blooming profusely during September and October!
