Star of Bethlehem (Ornithogalum umbellatum)is a very old species of bulb dating back to the 16th century. It is very invasive and pops up everwhere in the Spring and early summer. With its little star like flowers and stripey leaves it is a welcome addition in my garden although some people consider it a weed.
Taken with Canon 450D.

"Never stop photographing. It is very likely that your best photograph has not yet been captured"
I like this presentation very much and the composition and lighting are also quite nice. This sure doesn't look like a weed.

"What a desolate place would be a world without a flower!
It would be a face without a smile, a feast without a welcome." A.J. Balfour
This is weed? Are they normal? Wonderful flower with so beautiful name. Soft and lovely. Excellent job, Lyn.

They are too good to be called weeds Lyn! I like how the focus gradually weakens from left to right here.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
It sure is a lovely flower or weed, and your presentation is superbly done. Tigs♥ =^..^=

“Always borrow money from a pessimist. He won’t expect it back.”
Mrs b and I went to a very large garden centre a few miles away this afternoon and they already have a big chunck of their Christmas decorations on display so AStar of Bethlehem would fit in perfectly.
A beautiful and well composed image.

"Horse sense is the thing a horse has which keeps it from betting on people." W.C. Fields. So I bet you'll go over to see My Gallery.
This is a real beauty, Lyn, especially the one on the far left. When I'm shooting something like this, multiple subjects with separate DOF, I will try to shoot each of them, from a tripod, so that each is in focus in their own exposure (without moving the camera's position). Then later I will bring all three up in Photoshop and blend them so they all have the same DOF. It takes a little planning and work but the result is worth it. -Nik

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
If it's a weed it certainly is a beautiful one.
Great composition and presentation, Lyn.

WILD & FREE ... PROTECT THE AMERICAN MUSTANG !!
I like this a lot...and, coming out of the dark as you have shown them, it is easy to see where they got the name. There is much to be said about beautiful old flowers, and even more about beautiful old "weeds"*...and I love to see them showcased.
