Description


This would be seen as a weed and mowed with the lawn. Yet, up closely is amazing beauty! The center of the blossom appears part lady slipper, jack in the pulpit and pitcher plant all in one. The blossom is about 14mm from end to the base. I looked at this in a stereo microscope at 40x, using partial darkfield lighing. The little bloom came alive, translucent to the back light and each tiny hair looked like a lit fiber optic strand. I was awestruck at the very close view the microscope gave and the beauty was amazing, especially at how light played within and around the entire plant. The photo here is not so close and not backlit, we miss that view. Please enjoy the view seen here. I like it. Full size is best. Image shot in raw, converted with Phase One Capture One 4.

I love the expression here. The stark white background turns the spot-light on the plant with fanfare. I can see the thin skin on the neck of the flower and the delicate flare in the ends of the petals. Not to be outdone, the bud-head and flat array of leaves at intervals gives so much interest to the overall shot. Beautiful in every sense.
