Yesterday I shared a macro shot of the stamen from a Freesia. Today I have picked another macro shot but this is of the unopened bud.
I love the rainbow of colours from the green of the stem rising up towards the yellow, orange, cerise, pink and purple. I did have to ask my helpers to describe the different colours because I don't really know what I can see, all I do know is it is really beautiful.
For one reason or another I haven't been able to post anything for a few days and I have really missed being able to share something with you. On Friday I had planned a night camping and even though the weather was awful I was really looking forward to it and I was so disappointed when my plans fell through at the last minute.
I haven't had much opportunity to get out and get some fresh pictures so this morning I went into my mother-in-laws' garden and took a few shots of the flowers in bloom. Here then are a few really lovely pictures of the lavender which was in full fragrant bloom. I love the rich colour, so evocative of the heady scent and also reminiscent of pictures I have seen in hotel rooms when I have had to stay away.
