Insect Forest.... by shepherdmanswife

Insect Forest....

I don't know what this flower is. I bought it before it flowered and had a very pleasant surprise when I saw this first flower open. Have just gone to have a look at it and notice that the petals are all facing downwards now. Does that help with the identification?
Puzzle over thanks to all of you. I now remember it was Echinacea that I bought.
Well l love this, gorgeous focus

Looks like something in the 'cone flower' family...but of course ... I'm totally guessing ;) AMAZING IMAGE!! This kind of stuff truly makes my heart sing and glad I choose to try to learn how to make photographs!!

So beautiful Chantal, I love the comp and close crop and the colours are really lovely. I would say cone flower of some sort too, maybe Echinacea purpurea?

Really neat macro.
July 25th, 2014  
Beautiful shot. I think it's echinacea.
July 25th, 2014  
Lovely shot. I'd guess something like echinacea too especially given the down petals you mention but a more complete shot would help. This one, while artistically pleasing, is not maybe the best for ID purposes. But then the mysterious quality of the shot is part of its charm.
July 25th, 2014  
like this close up

I also thought it would be an echinacea, they are lovely flowers. Beautiful dof Chantal, love the soft colours.

I agree with the coneflower thought - their centers look like this - or would if I could shoot them anywhere as nice as you have. Love your pov. That focus plus that color is just exceptional.
July 26th, 2014  
Wow! I love it.
July 26th, 2014  
Another fav! I love these (echinacea or commonly called a coneflower) - wonderful photo flowers! :)
July 26th, 2014

beautiful
July 26th, 2014  
so gorgeously pretty! I'm growing Enchinea's in my garden for the first time this year, so excited for when they flower! Apparently they are very good for attracting bugs, butterflies, and small birds into the garden :)
July 26th, 2014  
I love photographing echinaceas. Your pov and dof here are gorgeous, and this is a fav for sure.
July 26th, 2014  
All over my front yard garden patch - a great flower because it blooms forever for a perennial, is drought tolerant, and attracts all kinds of bees and butterflies. You have a cultivar with the peachy/yellowy/orangy tones. gorgeous shot!
July 26th, 2014  
Thats a gorgeous flower, what ever it is, great macro shot :-)
