A good friend recently gave me an origami-style bouquet of paper flowers that she had made...
2,25 inches in longest dimension.

Coming in a wide variety of glistening colors, strawflower [Helichrysum Bracteatum ] is known for its everlasting blossoms. This tough Australian plant is often grown as an annual, but in warmer areas it can be grown as a perennial.
This shot was taken in the Tiger Hill, Darjeeling at (8,500 ft).

For Macro Monday's "spiral" theme.
The total frame is about 2 inches. I'll post a measurement photo in the first comment as soon as I get it uploaded.
Macro Monday theme - Paper Art
The flower pot is one side of a paper mache egg, then there is paper grass and an added bloom out of paper.
Happy Macro Monday and have a lovely new week friends!
September 3rd smile on Saturday’s theme is “flowers in vertical photo”. Since none of our plants are blooming, this is my feeble attempt to fulfill the theme with a handmade paper flower, made by myself, and decorative wooden flowers I have displayed in a brass shoe.
"If I could read your mind love
What a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel
The kind the drugstore sells
When you reach the part where the heartaches
Come the hero would be me
Heroes often fail
And you won't read that book again
Because the ending's just too hard to take" Gordon Lightfoot

#MacroMondays - Mon -Sept 28 2020 - Theme - #Paper
The flower is a small paper flower less than an inch in diameter.The background is a flat craft paper from my daughters collection. Since it has a very psychedelic effect so I have added a bit of vignette to make it easy for the eyes

“Bougainvillea: A colorful delight.”
From my garden to you.
It is an evergreen, climbing shrub that usually grows 3–3.5 m (10–12 ft) tall, occasionally up to 9 m (30 ft). It features thick, thorny stems and drooping branches that are glabrous or sparsely hairy. The leaves have a 3–10-millimetre-long (1⁄8–3⁄8 in) stem. The leaf blade is ovate to ovate-lanceolate, pointed or briefly pointed, 5 to 13 centimeters long and 3 to 6 centimeters wide, sparsely fluffy hairy on the underside and bald on the top. The leaf-like bracts are purple, oblong or elliptical, pointed, 65–90 mm (2+1⁄2–3+1⁄2 in) long and about 50 mm (2 in) wide. They tower over the flowers. These grow individually in pairs or in groups of three on flower stems about 3.5 millimeters long.

"Happiness held is the seed; Happiness shared is the flower." - John Harrigan (British writer, director, screenwriter and producer.)
The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" for Friday 20th of February is "flower-shaped objects", and should not be confused with floral patterns. So any object or objects that are flower shaped (be they made from plastic, wood, glass, copper, gold, silver, stone, leather, paper, fabric, lace, silk, beads, rope, ribbon, knitting yarn or anything else really). When it was my birthday three years ago, a very dear friend who enjoys photography as much as I do, and knows that I collect beautiful and vintage pieces, gave me a wonderful selection of antique ribbons, buttons, buckles, lace and other fine notions. She also gave me three follow up tins of similar delightful gifts for Christmas that year, and has added to my collection over subsequent years. I have used some of her gifts in this photograph of items that are flower shaped from my haberdashery collection. These include: ornamental paper flowers, flower shaped buttons made from Bakelite and others from rhinestones from the 1920s and 1930s, floral appliqués, material flowers intended for scrapbooking, a French Edwardian silver flower shaped brooch from the early 1900s, a flower shaped brooch of mother-of-pearl made in the 1910s, some Murano glass seed bead ornamental flowers from between 1914 and 1918, some Latvian lace pieces in the shape of flowers, a glass flower shaped button from the 1920s and a flower shaped piece of gold ormolu taken from a Victorian marriage stand. In their midst stands the only non floral shaped object in the photo, one of my more newly acquired half-dolls: an elegant German Art Deco half-doll made by porcelain manufacturer Kestner in the 1920s. She is admiring her rather beautiful garden of flower shaped objects. I hope you like my choice for this week's theme, and that it makes you smile!
The "half-doll" is a dainty porcelain or bisque figurine, fashionable in the early Twentieth Century with an upper body, head, arms, but no legs. These dolls were produced in the thousands at the height of their popularity by German factories such as Dressel and Kister, Heubach, Goebel and Kestner. Later they were produced in France, America and later still, in Japan. They commonly served as handles and toppers for fabric covers made for powder boxes on ladies’ dressing tables and small brushes, however they were also made for jewellery boxes, pincushions, tea cosies and other covers. In this case, my German half-doll has modishly (for the period) Eaton Cropped hair, so she would have been made for a lady’s boudoir and was most likely the topper for a jewellery box powder ruff, powder bowl or brush. She has been beautifully hand painted, as Kestner were well known for.
“Life is like macarons… it’s always full of colour.” – anonymous.
The theme for "Smile on Saturday" for the 12th of July is "from right above". The subject of your picture is not important; it can be people, animals, plants, objects... even a part of a village, city, forest, anything really. Now a few months ago, I was inspired to buy some very colourful macarons, and I decided to try photographing them in different ways. For one photograph I laid down some delicate laser cut paper doilies flowers and snowflake patterns that I had been given by a dear friend on a black backing board. I then placed four of the macarons on top of four of either the doily or snowflake shapes. They made such a nice and vibrant contrast that I was very taken by the idea. Of course, this seemingly simple picture took ages, and many unsuccessful attempts, to perfect, as being directly overhead, the macarons were not quite in the centre and had to be adjusted by millimetres. Eventually I succeeded, and this was the result! I do hope that you like my choice for this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile!

Bougainvillea is a genus of flowering plants native to South America. The first European to describe these plants was Philibert Commerçon, a French botanist accompanying French Navy admiral and explorer Louis Antoine de Bougainville during his voyage of circumnavigation, and first published in 1789.
Wikipedia
Bougainvillea spectabilis (Family: Nyctaginaceae), commonly referred to as Great Bougainvillea or Paper Flower, is one of the traditional medicinal plants with potential antifertility activity. The aqueous extract and decoction of this plant have been used as fertility control among the tribal people in many countries.
