Beach flower and visitor by soboy5

Beach flower and visitor

Thousands of these flowers grow wild all over the sand dunes of Tulum's beaches. They were quite lovely and I find their paper-like appearance rather pleasing. And luckily for me, this flower was being visited by a bee while I captured it with the Nikon, a nice bonus.

Thanks to everyone who viewed, commented and/or FAV'd my July 5 project image titled Driftwood on Tulum beach. I am honored and humbled that is was chosen for the PP.

this flower is fascinating. Looks 'homemade' because each petal appears to have a 'seam' in the middle with little gathers on either side. Very lovely photo.

@clickclick Thanks, Denise - the petals look like delicate rice paper to me, it certainly is a cool beach flower.
