Only just recently has it come to my attention that there may be many, many more beautiful flowers in the world than I will ever have a chance to see. Thank you for sharing this one. May we know it’s name?
The shadows in the background look so sinister. Yet the beauty of the colorful flowers keep the evil darkness in the background…the flowers bring a brightness, a life to the whole shot. Life vs darkness. Wait until it fully blooms – then the shadows will be gone.
Fantastic shot!
Wow, Elaine, what kind of flower is that?
That’s a beautiful budding banana sprouts. Very creative showing them in an upright position. They taste delicious when cooked with coconut milk.
Happy WW!
Ooops…on second look, its more like an ornamental flower than a banana sprout. They look very similar. Nice shot!
I don’t know what it is but it’s really cool looking!
Good luck in the contest this week!
That’s BEAUTIFUL!

What an exquisite shade of lavender. Great capture.

Wow what a capture! Fantastic play with forms and colours, distance and perspective. Pure art:)
I love how the petal on the left curls under. Very striking shot.
Wonder shot.
I love stopping by here to see what you’ve posted.

That is so beautiful. It is cool how tall the bud or petal going straight up is and the stalk looks like some kind of bamboo. Very interesting shot.
