A flower's fragrance declares to all the world that it is fertile, available, and desirable, its sex organs oozing with nectar. Its smell reminds us in vestigial ways of fertility, vigor, life-force, all the optimism, expectancy, and passionate bloom of youth. We inhale its ardent aroma and, no matter what our ages, we feel young and nubile in a world aflame with desire. - Diane Ackerman, :: Peace and happiness to all who venture here. Dwight.

I'm not to sure. I really like the black in the back. It adds to the picture. Very nice Dwight. Thanks for sharing. Suz

Man has always been awed by the sunkissed mountains, the misty woods, the forming of waves in the ocean & other magical powers of nature. Paradise is always imagined as a place of sweet fragrance & high energy. The aromas used in incense transforms us to this magical world of tranquility in just a few moments helping us to concentrate all our powers & recharge our spirits.
OHHHH I love ths shadows! That just makes this photo!...and the quote you have here is perfect...I read a book once that compared the beauty of flowers to male and females...it is so very true...I think this is a tulip opening up isnt it?...very very pretty!!!

Going barefoot is the gentlest way of walking, and can symbolize a way of living.It's the feeling of enjoyment beneath our toes...it removes the barrier between us and nature...(AdeleCoombs,Barefoot

But words are things, and a small drop of ink, falling, like dew, upon a thought produces that which makes thousands, perhaps millions think and smile.
Art is everywhere, except it has to pass through a creative mind.
Who cares! beauty like this needs no name. Just absorb it, take it in and let it touch your soul.

Capturing for infinity that which only lasts for a moment.
I wouldn't think such a bright light would render an object so delicate. Beautiful job with this shot, Dwight!

We make a living by what we get; but we make a life by what we give.
Another beautiful presentation. That center is wonderful. I'm drawn right to it with your use of light and choice of angle.

When you get the choice to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance...

Absolutely stunning. I represents far more then only the black and white color of which it is composed. There must be some colourful fragrance around this beauty.

If you can't find the words, you may as well shoot it...
Beautiful image. It looks like some kind of magnolia to me. I love the lighting - it really makes this work. Thank you.

"A picture is worth a thousand words"
Excited indeed June, thanks for your comments and of course you know this bloom is from a yucca plant. Don't usually see them like this, because they hang down all the time. Dwight.

People are like stained-glass windows.
They sparkle and shine when the sun is out,
but when the darkness sets in,
their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.
-Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
My, my. This is just gorgeous. Colors so starkly contrasted, I thought it was a photo at first. Love it.

Really spectacular photograph. Impressive technique. Not only have you captured the flowers beauty, but it's mystique as well. The comments are perfectly paired with the image. Nice job.
