From my garden - for Friday :)
Sometimes called the Winter Rose or the Christmas rose. It seems not to matter how battered these flowers get - they still come up smiling and are a welcome sight in mid winter.
They are quite difficult to photograph as they face downwards and grow close to the ground - about 9-12 inches.
Used in herbal medicine in earlier times I have learned that someone called Parkinson claimed they are 'good for mad and furious men, for melancholy, dull and heavie persons, and briefly for all those with blacke choler, and molested with melancholy.'!
Well :)
Taken with Canon 450D. Thanks for viewing.

Most lovely, Lyn. I would have thought anything with the name 'niger' would be black.

LYTRO. The new light field photography. Refocus your shots AFTER you have taken them. Just click on the word LYTRO. See a VIDEO HERE.
Lyn - I have a few of these in my shade garden. When they begin to bloom here, I know winter in almost over! The very dark leaves and (on mine) the dark center of the outside of the flower are quite striking. Nice to see close up like this. Thad

I can smell the sunlight on your skin. Listen to them. Children of the night. What music they make!
"'good for mad and furious men, for melancholy, dull and heavie persons, and briefly for all those with blacke choler, and molested with melancholy." In other words this is the old version of what is called today "uppers". Next Friday show us Lyn what "downers" look like - LOL!

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
Beautiful, white. So classic. Sounds like a chemist could make some money growing these.

AVATAR BY PJ............... I'd like to thank those of you who have been so kind as to add my photos to your favorites. Please Visit My Gallery
Hello, LE...
Please forgive me. My heart is really not in this today. I really like flowers, but Foofy Friday has me completely overdosed on flowers. I know your work, and I have little doubt that your flower shot is beautiful, colorful and well focused. I'd rather see a photo of road kill.
