- This is my current desktop image, seen in the original size here
- See the side view of the trumpet shape here, and why the glow of red-violet shows through this macro.
- This image shows the whole flower, and a glimpse of the deep purples that descent down through the center of the trumpet shape.
Purple Passion
Last of three images of a tiny purple flower in my garden. I like the purple color, which ranges to red-violet and cobalt blue in the tones. This macro shows why I enjoy this flower so much. The light just glows from them, depending on the angle you view it. The strong Arizona light just glows strong through the petals as backlight accentuating the glow.
There is a tiny white stamen that sticks out like a delicate tongue from the deep center. The macro looks best in the large size and I hope you'll look at the other two images as well for a good look at this beauty. First one here for a full view of the whole flower, The second one is a trumpet, a macro of the side view.
