Gerbera Capitulum

How many flowers are in this photograph?

It looks like one, but really thats the capitulum which is made up of hundreds or thousands of individual flowers or florets.

This is my portrait of one such flower head.

The Garden Within

Yes, this is the same gerber daisy as the last shot, but this lets you see inside to the garden of individual florets within the gerber daisy.

So like I said, there are hundreds of flowers here.

Sunflower

In a sunflower, a single capitulum may have thousands of individual florets. This shows not only all of that structure but also the bracts - the leaves that support the flower head.

Sunflower Landscape

Bracts and petals make up this landscape that I found when wandering over several sunflower flower heads with my macro lens.

A friend of mine has started a flickr photography school and is starting with composition and the rule of thirds. This is my submission for that project. Bracts and petals are on lt eleft and right thirds with a petal tip at the upper right intersection.

I normally avoid shots when something like that is leaning or pointing further out the same side of the image that it is on. But I felt the petals in the background redirect the eye back to the bracts and back into the composition.

It does make me wonder though.... Am I the only one that gets this excited when sunflowers and gerber daisies are on sale?
