Another macro of a coneflower head. I posted one from a cream colored coneflower yesterday and today, while at my favorite rose garden, I found some nice purple coneflowers and took this macro of just the head. I knew it had rich color when I shot it but the detail was amazing when I uploaded it to my computer - especially those tiny yellow flowers all around. I may switch to this for the contest.

Wow, Kathy. That sure is impressive. Have to admit I would like to have seen more of the outside petals all around.

Kathy - There is a spiral effect seen in the paleae. The little yellow buds are rare. Thad

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

If you stare at it long enough it will move on you. As was said before there is a spiral effect in it. The little tips are like little neon lights. A beauty Kathy.
