I've never noticed (before 365)....

... the unusual way these dicentra flowers open. These shots were taken a few days apart.

thats when they become fat ladies in the bath

[Darren Juden]

Haha! Interesting :)

[👑 AnaZad]

Great collage showing the process.

@floyd12

I remember you saying that but I'm still trying to work it out!!!

[mittens (Marilyn)]

They are beautiful. I've notice so much more since I've joined 365.

[Floyd]

turn the right hand picture through 180 degrees and you have a victorian lady in the bath

[Hazel]

@floyd12

Thanks I'll go and practise now! Turning the photo, I mean.

[Beryl Lloyd]

It's amazing how our observation skills develop through looking at the image of the objects we have observed for a few moments through the viewfinder

[Pam Knowler]

Wondeful Hazel - I love these flowers - so delicate!!

[Hazel]

@floyd12

Got it now, many thanks!

[Pat Knowles]

Wonderful image of these rather amazing flowers ...there are non other like them!

[Ivan]

Fascinating - and the fat ladies in the bath!

[🐓 Patricia Fletcher]

You have taken the most wonderful shots of this strange flower - I had no idea there was that little transparent case round the stigma etc - and I have them in my garden! Excellent botanical image Hazel!

[Paula W]

Great images Hazel and yes it's amazing the subtle differences you notice when you look closely at things.

[Rosie Kind]

Lovely capture Hazel. Like you I notice things that I have never seen before - all due to 365! I've seen birds that I have never seen and that's due to the fact that I'm now looking for them!

[Christine]

Great collage. It's great to become so much more observant. I am in awe of the beauty all around.

[Hazel A]

Beautiful shots. Great to see the different stages in their development

[Pyrrhula]

Great and beautiful pic.`s to show`s it. Lovely flowers and capture

[Karin Hirsch]

Lovely way to show the process of the opening of the bleeding heart. Well done Hazel

[Mary Downing Hahn]

I have a similar flower in my garden that might be love lies bleeding. These are lovely photos.

[Julie Duncan]

Wow, I never noticed that either! And, I never would have seen the fat ladies in the bath on my own. Ha ha! I learned something new from this! :)

[Ness Santvoort]

it's a first time view of this flower opening for me, lovely, thanks for sharing

[Hazel]

@tishpics

Thank you kindly! I think having only one stem of these flowers (with about 10 blooms) rathe focused my eye on them. Very hard to photograph in sun as the light reflects off the fat ladies' upside down shape! But easy on a cloudy day!
