Thank you Kaleem.
My favorite type of picture to take is a macro. Most people (non-gardeners) that I know do not have a clue as to what the inside of a flower looks like, they notice color or form, but have no idea of what fantastic forms are inside.

Yes you are right.
This is 1 to 2 cm WIDE but you can see this bloom indetails.

Nice picture... I like it when there are smallish flowers to get up close to. RJ, my dear hubby, used to laugh at me when spring was here because I would be sitting on the ground looking at the smallest flower or fungi growing ... ;) Sometimes the smallest flowers have the most striking design...

I agree, you see things you never knew existed with a good macro lens. I love photographing flowers and insects, lichens etc this way.
