A picture portrait of a perfect profusion of pastel petals…
...or (more prosaically) another one of a dahlia .
This was taken at Ford Abbey in Somerset a few weeks ago where the dahlias lit up their autumn gardens. Interestingly (if you are into gardening) they don’t lift their dahlias but let them overwinter in the ground without much trouble, which sounds like a much more viable approach. We might try that because they are such a diverse and beautiful group of flowering plants.
This is for the Looking close… on Friday group’s theme today of Texture in Flora. I rather like the contrast between the silky petals and the rasp-like bunch of florets in the centre, but I have to admit it’s the colour gradient that really appeals.
I hope you have a good weekend, my friend.
Thanks for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Looking Close on… Friday, and Friday Flora :)
A rich red cultivar of Hellebore in my San Francisco garden. Also known as Lenten Rose, although more closely related to buttercups than roses; it is a member of the family Ranunculaceae.
For Flower Friday! Take care and stay safe, Thanks for stopping by and for all of your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.

The wildflowers were really putting on a show at Myakka River State Park.
Rose Gentian - Sabatia Grandiflora. The annual has pink flowers and grows in parts of FL and AL. The flowers have pink petals and a yellow center.
Happy Flower Friday and to a lovely weekend!
No glittering graphics please!
Thanks to jacilluch, I know it is Nigella damascena (big thank you!)

I love going around other people’s gardens. I see flowers and not weeds.
This is a close-up of a lily flower centre in a garden in Dorset taken about a month ago. The image was taken handheld in natural light. It’s ended up being an abstract, and I guess it’s all about the curves and the contrasts of colour and focus…
The long crop seemed to make the composition. It’s lightly cooked in Nik Color Efex too but not overly so.
Thanks for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Flora Friday (and have a nice weekend…)!
Pitcher Plant - Sarracenia purpuria
Hello Everyone!
I decided to start an album titled Flower Friday. My first image will be an insect-eating wildflower called Pitcher Plant. This is the flower of this plant. The leaves are also gorgeous and I will post them another time. I found this specimen along the Brokenhead boardwalk.
Thanks for looking, your comments and faves! I humbly thank you for your time! Happy Flower Friday!

The Rose is perhaps my favourite flower. That may not be entirely true: my favourite tends to be whatever flower I happen to be looking at at the time :)
This was taken in the village last month. I thought we could have a change from wobblies so I rooted around for something for Flower Friday.
A bit of magic, of course, in the processing, but only a little. I’ve also created a brown-toned mono version too - I tend to prefer these because they emphasise the structure and shapes, and they look a little different. Feel free to choose your own favourite though!
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Friday, happy flowers, happy weekend :)
It’s been a rare thing seeing the sun so far this spring m. Hopefully some more is on the way. Happy flower Friday.
I’m running short of floral wobblies, but I found this one in the back catalogue. This was taken in March and is of the purple and orange crocuses under my pear tree. They’ve featured in a wobbly previously.
I’ve only recently started using a variable neutral density (ND) filter or any ND filter for that matter. In daylight without an ND, the shutter speeds have to be too short for a complex camera movement, at least one you can control. This wobbly uses a different approach. It’s an in-camera multiple exposure of three ICMs, each using a different movement: vertical, horizontal and diagonal.
There was a little bit of magic in the processing using Nik Analog Efex. I want to play a little more with this filter because I am rather envious of the images that my friend Dagmar has achieved using it :)
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Freitagsblümchen and 100x :)
Another quick test shot with the magenta filter on the K-1+Takumar 50/1.4(8e), a lightly edited PSOOC (no exposure or tone curve adjustments, just a slight presence and temp/tint change). Almost getting a Fuji Classic Neg vibe from this.
Spring is definitely here.
Poppy is a girl's name of Latin and Old English origin and a beautiful flower (Papaver rhoeas). This name refers to a type of flower known for its bright, delicate petals. If you want to help baby appreciate life, from the beginning to the end, the name Poppy is sure to brighten up their spirits.
I was reading the Pennsylvania groundhog Phil Punxsutawney prediction of an early spring for our area; that's good news. How about a poppy flower to brighten the day after that news?
Thank you very much for your visit and comments, very much appreciated!
Orange flower found in my neighborhood on the Big Island of Hawaii.

This is another image of the pink poppy from my garden (see flic.kr/p/2p9S7vh for a mono rendition of the same flower).
It’s a ‘plain’ colour edit using the usual tools in Capture One and Affinity, with a bit of noise removal using Topaz DeNoise AI.
The main creative challenge was how to crop it. I wanted to avoid the square crop all-inclusive approach. I thought of using an even thinner aspect but that didn’t work so well as you lost the concentric circles of the ring of anthers… sigh. I also rotated in to get some balance in the petals - a problem in itself. Finally, I tried flipping it horizontally and thought it worked for a while, Then I came back to it today and preferred it unflipped. Time to move on…
Thanks for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Flower Friday and 100x :)
This white lily grows in a pot in my back garden. It’s a lovely flower and very photogenic.
This is all about the depth of field I guess. It was a bit tricky to get right in a breeze!
Thanks for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Friday Flora and weekend :)
I quote;
"The Pink Flannel Flower (Actinotus forsythii) is a special plant.
We in the Blue Mountains think of it as our own, but it also occurs south to Victoria.
Pink Flannel Flower Pink Flannel Flower (Actinotus forsythii) Photo: Jill DarkThe generic name, Actinotus, means “bearing rays”, referring to the petal-like bracts surrounding each flowerhead. The species is named for William Forsyth, a plant collector who worked in the early 1900s.
Although superficially the flower looks like a daisy, Actinotus is in the family Apiaceae. Carrot, parsley and celery also belong in this family, and among our local natives, Platysace is a well-known genus.
This is a plant which only seems to appear and flower the summer after a fire. Years will go by without any reports.
It is an annual and the seed can lie dormant for many years, but with the right conditions, fire and spring rain, it can produce a spectacular display."

This flower has been making the rounds;

Alas I only had a hour to scout and find one between errands, I thought I would exercise a little artistry into the colour grading. I hope it is well received.
This version shot with the Pentax K-1 and Lensbaby Velvet 85.
Happy special Flower Friday :)

A lovely delivery arrived this week for my wife on her Birthday. It seems my mum (in Scotland) went online and arranged these courtesy of Blue Mountains Blossoms in Glenbrook.
