Purple Flower
Posted by Anita (West Nottingham, United States) on 1 September 2008 in Plant & Nature.
This is growing in an old neglected bed of mine, but I don't remember what the name of it is. If anyone knows, please tell me.
*****THANK YOU FOR VISITING ANITA'S PHOTOBLOG!*****
I welcome your honest critique, especially if they will improve my photography.
If I have made a mistake in a flower identification, please let me know!
A few words about the EXIF data, beginning in April when I began using Nikon D300 and the Sigma 105mm macro: My new camera and macro lens record the relative or effective f stop, not the one seen on the lens. For an explanation of this, go to the next to the last question at this site.

Only a flower can have such wonderfully complex simplicity! Beautifully seen and presented, Anita.

Am I the only person struck by the illusion of snow on the petals? The sharpness drives the quality of this photo.

Anita, this looks like an anemone (or Japanese Windflower). I have seen them in white (and taken lots of pictures) but they also come in other colors.
Very beautiful. I'm really enjoying your blog.
