Paimpont 2018: Day 160 - Stamens

The Day Lilies are almost at an end now but I couldn't resist one last image of these mundane but nevertheless spectacular blooms... a brash counterpoint to yesterday's subtle rendering of honeysuckle blossom

Neat macro with fiery colors

[Kathryn]

Great color! I like it without a hint of green ...really lets the oranges shine. (I often have trouble framing such a shot, nicely done.)

[Maggiemae]

The stamen are like long thin straight legs with pollen shoes on!

[CC Folk]

Love this one! Fav.

[Richard Sayer]

@maggiemae I guess they are a bit - I'm sure you know that the 'pollen shoes' are known as anthers and the 'thin straight legs' as filaments - together they form the stamens.

[Maggiemae]

@vignouse Yes I do know the names but always forget them!

[Domenico Dodaro]

stamens are always a very good subject. with such a rich background, all the more!

[I. Hallmackenreuther]

beautiful

I love the red glow on this picture. Gives the whole composition a very warm feeling.

[Jane Pittenger]

I love their furry stamen

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Beautiful macro- I wish the deer had not eaten mine (even though I treated them so they wouldn't!). As you said, they are so common yet photograph so nicely!

[haskar]

Wonderful macro shot.

[Margo Sayer]

They remind me of swabs for examination. Interesting POV presenting these lilies in an unusual and alluring way.

[Delwyn Barnett]

Great focus on the stamens. Nice macro.

Only the colour is brash Richard.. i'm sure it would appear more subtle in b/w :-)
