The young one bright and colourful and the other one dead and dissipating. These flowers are called "Immortelle"!

Excellent contest entry Raj.
This strawflower is not living up to its 'everlasting' reputation :)
I did not know the name Imortelle, have always called them Everlasting Daisies.

Gorgeous straw flower, one of my favorites. The dof on this is really fine and so are the wonderful colors.
Good luck, Raj.

Raj - A terrific capture - it looks like the one on the right is harboring dandelion seeds as well. I like the dof, with the young and fresh flower in crisp focus, the old one slightly blurred and the background fully blurred. The lighting is similar. Kudos on an excellent photo. Thad

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
