I didn't get the name of these interesting flowers. Longwood Gardens Conservatory several weeks ago.
*****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.

Stunning! They jump right out of the page at you. What kind of flower is this???

@Marcie: I'm glad you like it. I don't know what flower this is. I failed to notice the name. :-(

I agree with all of the comments already posted but will add that I admire the way you composed the piece, showing only part of the interesting blossom.

A very beautiful post. Their positioning does give them a 3d effect that is quite strong. Well done.
