Bloodroot Blossom
Bloodroot, Sanguinaria canadensis, March 27, 2006. This flower was just beginning to open up when I found it around 1:30 PM. The sun was shining, but was somewhat diffused by a thin layer of clouds. I really like the way this image shows the anatomy of the flower. The stemen around the edges are covered with golden pollen, which is delivered to the stigma (the vase-shaped structure in the center) by a pollinator, such as a bee.

Wow! The magnification of these photos lets me see amazing sights I didn't know existed!
Yes, this image does a great job of showing things that are normally hard to see. That is one of the best things about using my micro 200 mm lens along with a teleconverter that brings the image even closer/bigger. Thanks for your comment.
