So it's one of my two 'Charles de Gaulle' hybrid tea-roses, soldiering on through Sydney's tropical summer storms.

'Charles de Gaulle' is a Meilland rose from southern France, and is arguably one of the toughest roses in the world - and is also wonderfully fragrant.

It is, I think, better than the other, rival, lilac rose 'Blue Moon'. It has a stronger perfume than 'Blue Moon'.

I love the crystal white of this flower and stamen is such an intricate and interesting focal point.

No color enhancement. This is the actual color of this flower. I am always amazed at what nature gives us.

Lots of drops on this purple, pink, and green flower.

A rich purple color winding out of a soft but clean white. No Photoshop. This is the actual purple color. Amazing what nature can offer.

I am in love with the striped colors of orange in this flower.

this one is from Alexandraparken

Most of my flower portraits are captured in and around the city of Molde. The second largest city in the county of Møre og Romsdal. It lies along the shores of the Romsdalsfjord in Western Norway.

This charming city has been nicknamed the “City of Roses” since 1913. It boasts incredibly scenic views and surroundings and is filled with beautiful parks and gardens.

The park is located in the center of Molde. Alexandra Park has traditions as a park area all the way back to the establishment of Molde's first tourist hotel in 1883. Alexandra Park got its current form in 1954.

Ranunculaceae is a family of over 2,000 known species of flowering plants in 43 genera, distributed worldwide. The largest genera are Ranunculus, Delphinium, Thalictrum, Clematis, and Aconitum.

#4 - white agapanthus

The five stamens seemed surprised and wanted to climb toward a soft green light. Another example a dying bloom's beauty.

Snowdrops basking in the afternoon sun. The weather is definitely a bit warmer today and I've been enjoying a little stroll in the sunshine.

Agapanthus (Lily of the Nile)

Red colored water dripped onto a deep red flower.

There is something really beautiful and humble about a wilting flower.

One flower has just bloomed and aggressive and the other is still in its infancy.

This one is from Moldesentrum

I took this photograph a few weeks ago when the world was a very different place.

Such a perfect crystal white.

The wilting stamens tucked to the edge of the flower look like bees...at least to my eyes.

I've always found capturing white with a deeply saturated color very difficult. But I like this shot.

This is an experiment in colored light. 4 different light sources in 3 colors.
