the flower of tomato

I don't think I've ever seen one. Our one plant has developed these three flowers! I did learn you have to fertilise them - not too difficult - my stepdaughter said - just touch the trusses gently! Thankful for; Getting a photo today so close to home! From morning condition not so good to later really feeling better.

Lovely. I adore the hair on the stems!

[Maggiemae]

I really didn't see these hairs until I downloaded. The iPhone is so clever!

[Sarah Bremner]

Great photo. Isnt nature amazing that such delicate flowers can become tomatoes. We managed 4 mini ones on our 2 plants this year. 😂😂

[Maggiemae]

so many vegetables, @sarah19 seem to have flowers. Now the chefs like to put them on their dishes. No further fruiting, naturally!

So sharp and vivid, this is very nice! Gotta love Nature

[Valerie Chesney]

Super close up....

[Babs]

Lovely detail. We had so many tomatoes on our plant last year we had to give a lot of them away.

Hope you are feeling much better and your test was negative.

I don’t think I have ever looked this closely at tomato flowers before either! You got some amazing detail in this one and I am glad it was close to home for you. Also glad to hear you are feeling better.

[Mags]

Great details! Very nice shot.

[Bep]

Very nice close up.

[Maggiemae]

@onewing Haven't heard back yet, Babs. I'm still coughing but feel a lot better, thank you.

[Maggiemae]

@grammyn Just down a short concrete path to our glasshouse. I am learning all about what you have to do with tomatoes that I've never known before!

[Pat Knowles]

We have had tomatoes in the past but can’t say I have ever had to fertilise them....thought they did it naturally....always had tomatoes so must have been a Devine conception! It’s exciting when they flower....you sound perkier!

[Maggiemae]

@happypat I do feel perkier, not perkiest yet though, Pat. The bees or wind can fertilise the tomatoes but in a glass house you have to help nature a bit!

Super details, colors

[haskar]

Lovely details.

[Linda Godwin]

very nice details, in a little green house we use whats called miracle grow, turns the water a blue. feeds the plants when you water with it.

[Maggiemae]

@rontu I've got food for the plant but have to find out when is the best time to add it to the soil.

[Judith Johnson]

Lovely shot with the hairy stems so well focused

[Maggiemae]

@busylady I wonder why there are so many hairs - to catch the spiders?
