The #bees have been going nuts this week. Every flowering plant I see is shaking from an onslaught of eager #pollinators bouncing from blossom to blossom.
Here's a bee wading through a thicket of #bottlebrush #stamens.

The first buds and blossoms on a bouncing new baby #BottleBrush bush (#Callistemon viminalis). The cheery pink "bristles" are actually #stamens rather than skinny petals ("Callistemon" means "beautiful stamen"). The pollen-bearing anthers add a bit of bling to the tips.

Here's a macro picture of the #stamens of a #tulip.
This is a focus-stacked image using a Sigma 105mm f2.8 DG macro lens with a four-thirds mount - slightly odd as it's a full frame lens.

This second image is a cropped version of the one above. You can see the #stamens covered in yellow #pollen well. Instead of putting the centre of the flower in the centre of the image, I’ve used the #RuleOfThirds to try to make it a bit more interesting, which has the added benefit of being able to fit an entire petal into the frame.

I recently bought a #MacroLens for my #camera and I’m experimenting with it. It’s second hand and so cost less than half the price of a new one. It behaves quite differently to the #ZoomLenses I have and so it will take time to get used to it. Here’s a #photograph of a #crocus #flower growing in the front #garden. I quite like the focus on the #stamens

This very vibrant and striking image is of lilies standing on a lush lava background. I have used digital art techniques to recolour the lilies so they are almost blue, with the stamens appearing in the same colour as the background.

#December 11, 1992
#OTD #California newspapers reported that #Botanists discovered a new #Plant.
The plant is #Native to the area around #Lake #Shasta. A member of the #Rose #Family, it has the charming common name Shasta #Snow #Wreath.
One of California's rarest #Plants, the #Beautiful #Blossom lasts 10 days in the #Spring. It looks like a white spikey #Puffball made up of a cluster of #Stamens rather than #Petals.
Today there are roughly 20 clusters of Shasta Snow-Wreath in California.
