Frozen Berries

In this stunning image you can see young rose hips in December. Rose hips, also rose haws and rose hep, are the fruit of the rose plant that is typically red-orange in color. Roses are used in jams, soups and wine, but can also be eaten fresh if care is taken to avoid the coarse hairs. They are particularly high in vitamin c, one of the richest plant sources available.

Pale Mystery

This beautiful flower shows the larger area of the minuscule cluster shown in 'Alien Focus'. The pastel purple of the five petal roses contrasts neatly with the dark green leaves of its bush. 

Green Majesty

This photo shows a small green plant which reminds me of a vibrant green firework with its shape and distance from the main body of the bush. Unfortunately I haven't a clue the type of plant it is, but all I know is that it grows in my garden in the summer time.

Broken Beauty

These gorgeous pink roses in the photograph are nearly at the end of their blooming season, which is why they are frayed and broken around the edges. However, rather than appearing ugly, I believe that it makes the roses look stunning, a little wilted and down-turned, but they still make me hopeful for next year when the buds will rise anew. 

Lose Focus

This colourful image represents a beautiful cycle in nature, that of pollination. The brown pattern along the petals of this flower serve as a pathway, enticing insects such as bees and butterflies towards the nectar in the base of the flower, and the pollen on the anthers brush onto their legs before they travel to the next flower. 

Call of Color

The contrasting plant in the photo is a Craspedia Billy Balls Yellow Plant. They feature long green stems and a cluster of sphere shaped heads. the whole item is one flower. The Craspedia is a genus of Daisies, commonly known as Billy Buttons, or Woolyheads. They can be found in a wide range of areas, such as coastal, seen here, to alpine and are generally plants of open areas. 

Alien Focus

This intriguing image explores the extreme within a flower cluster. These tiny buds and open flowers are incredibly small and the blue powder on the stamen is pollen. I particularly enjoy this photo because of the peculiarities associated with it. It looks extraterrestrial to me, even though you only have to look carefully to see it in our world every day. 

Rose of Fire

This mottled bud will grow into a beautiful fire rose, known for its vivid colors and large petals. Traditionally red-yellow roses were given to a person to let them know that you're happy that they're happy, rather than for any romantic attachment, according to the 'Flower Code', which originated in Persia in the 15th Century.

Vividly Wilting

The roses here are of a very small variety, most likely Aletha June Roses or Baby Betsy McCall Roses. Some believe that these roses can help develop a foundation of security, convey a sense of trust, and even heal the wounded child within. However they do not last long, blooming for a short while before beginning to wilt.
