Deranged Photography Contest - Flowers

[keithboone]

I went through some recent flower photos to find an entry for the the Deranged Photography Contest - Flowers Theme. I had a hard time choosing, but finally decided on the first shot. I'll post a couple of "also rans" at the end of the post.

Olympus E-M1 Mkii, 1/320, f/2.8, ISO 200

This is my choice for the Pro tier of the contest. It's a type of butterfly bush. I call it an "orange-ball tree" but the scientific name is buddleja globosa. This unique flowering bush comes from South America.

Below are a couple of other photos I had considered entering. I'm including them here as part of my policy of providing more pixels per post!

All photos are by me, @keithboone. I hope you enjoyed them :-)

I like your policy of more pixels, Keith 😊
These orange balls look cool - I have never seen such blossoms before and they look very interesting and exotic.
But more I like the orange flower below, because waterdrops on flowers are always doing something magical to flowers - they make a normal little flower to a beautiful flower... ;)

Thanks so much, Johann! I'm happy you liked the photos. I also love water drops on flowers but I decided on the more exotic looking flower that is growing on a bush across the road from my house :-)

[johannpiber]

You're very welcome, Keith, and yes, this bush is really beautiful and something you might not see every day, or even never have seen before, like me, but I can't help ... I love the color orange and the waterdrops add beauty to the blossom 🙂

Oooh... looks like the same type of flower. Have a great night!

[johannpiber]

They are all daisies I think 😉
Good morning Keith, have a great day.
