This is the bloom of a cotton plant - the first step in the making of those jeans we all love to wear. I thought there might be some of you out there that had never seen one before. When the bloom dies, the cotton boll ( correct name ) will form that is white and fluffy filled with seeds. It is then harvested and manufactured to be spun into anything you may be wearing today that has cotton in it. Thanks for viewing and I do hope you enjoy this.

A beautiful blossom Eileen ... I love how you captured it's soft features. This is so new to me .... I didn't realize a cotton plant had any blossoms. I thought it just grew the cotton boll only. You can tell I didn't grow up in the South, though I have visited there. An excellent presentation & I learned something new today. I love my blue jeans. Thank you for sharing.

Friends are like shining stars. You may not always see them, but you know they are always there for you.
So thats where my Wranglers are grown!! LOL This is cool Eileen! I've seen the finished product before in wagons & etc., and the plants out in the fields but never up close like this! Really a pretty bloom they have! What time of year was this taken? Great capture of it also! Excellent clarity & I like the story behind it! I recall driving through parts of TX at cotton harvest time & the ground looked like it was snow covered! Nice job my friend!! C):-)

This is a lovely picture, very clear for such a closeup. The pretty flower is as soft as cotton:) I'd never seen one and your commentary was very interesting. I love your title - it's so cute and creative! Thanks for sharing it.

The Bible tells us to love our neighbors, and also to love our enemies; probably because generally they are the same people.

I love your imagery. Neat idea. As for this capture....doesn't need a bit of anything...it's beautiful. I had no idea that cotton was so lovely. Great work!

I like the look of the veins in the leaves. They are quite lovely. I have never seen cotton being harvested. Thank you for the cotton history as well. You are always great with describing your images.

No, I've never seen a cotton flower before and I'm glad I had the chance to see one because they are so pretty. I love the white petals and the green shade of the leaves and the plant itself is so useful to us. Your shot is so clear and sharp. I never would have known this was a cotton plant had you not said so. Thank you, Eileen.

Never rebuke while you’re still indignant about a fault committed—wait until the next day, or even longer. Then calmly, and with a purer intention, make your reprimand. You’ll gain more by a friendly word than by a three-hour quarrel.
-Josemaria Escriva
Nice photo, I like green leaves and white flower is succesful,too. Well done.

Picture Purrrfect .
A purrrfect world is what we all want, but, seems too unobtainable. If I've viewed and commented on your post, and you liked my remarks then NO THANKS is needed...just getting to see your wonderful work is thanks enough for me!!
Also BIG thanks to all who check out my work!! I appreciate any and all comments & feedback!!
Besides being well composed and focused, this is truly interesting. I had no idea these blooms came first. Ya learn something new every day!! Thanks!
