Big, Bigger, Biggest




I think that this flower is a white Cosmo and it is really stunning especially when you get up close and see the detail. That is the beauty of using a macro lens, you can get in really close and bring out the fine detail that otherwise you would miss.

There is so much beauty in this flower from the delicate white petals with their gently scalloped edges, the folds where the petals meet in the centre and the colours and shapes in the central cluster of stamen and the tiny grains of pollen.

Apparently they are a big hit with bees and butterflies, I can see why.
