So perfect
I'm always delighted to see a Straw Flower (Strawflower), of any colour. Just fascinated by how perfect they usually are when I see them. Love their paper or silk-like "petals", though actually the petals aren’t true petals at all, but in fact are modified leaves called bracts, that come in many colours, including yellow, orange, cream, pink, white, and purple.
Photographed at The Saskatoon Farm on 24 May 2014, when my youngest daughter treated me to a great day out, SE of the city. In the morning, we were in the Frank Lake area looking for birds and barns. Afterwards, we went to the Saskatoon Farm for a delicious lunch and to wander the grounds with our cameras. Came across a couple of greenhouses full of colourful flowers, which felt so good after such a long (7 months), brutal winter. Thanks so much, Rachel, for such an enjoyable day, with so many treats!
