Botany through photography:

Have acquired unnecessary bundle of exotic blooms for photo project. (I'm photographing geometric patterns and arrangements that occur in natural and manmade things). Am happy cos I have pretty flowers:

Star of Bethlehem, Ornithogalum arabicum
These are very, very cool. The flower buds sort of sprout out from the central inverted-pear-pineconey blob, tearing the blob apart as they bloom into a ball of flowers. The small white flowers smell sweeeet too.




Blue Delphinium
These have a crazy deep blue / purple hue when the flowers mature. Right now my bunch looks pale violet cos all the deep coloured flowers fell off. The flowers have crinkly tails, where the subtly sweet nectar sits :d

(Author's note:
My parents did not raise me as a hippy flower-eating child; I just eat anything edible-looking that's in my way.)
