A rather soft photograph.

Pretty as a picture in my garden last spring, a magic moment when our unique Australian flannel flowers open.

The genus Actinotus contains 20 species, 19 of which are endemic to this country. This Actinotus helianthi has a natural range extending from central and south-eastern Queensland down to the south coast of New South Wales.

Varying in height from 50 cm up to 1.5 m. Depending on the environment, the nature of the plant varies between a large herbaceous plant and a small shrub.

The entire plant has a soft, woolly feel due to the presence of white hairs. Flowers are surrounded by green-tipped, white bracts; beautifully soft to the touch.

Each flower from 5 to 8 cm in diameter.

Macro Mondays - Cloth

option 2

Two very different macro images. I used a different light source and exposure. Similarity: basic post processing and the same level of difficulty.

So far, this is the winner, according to the viewers.
