After watching and photographing the slow unfurling of the cyclamen bud and flower, went to walk the dogs. Upon our return, sudden wings!
This is a closeup looking up at the tiny, tiny fruit of a cyclamen flower—a round pod that opens with 5 flaps at maturity and containing numerous sticky, amber seeds.
Such fine tiny beauty doesn’t need any editing by me. These are unedited shots, playing with extension tubes and joy.
Cyclamen is a genus of 23 species of perennials growing from tubers, valued for their flowers with upswept petals and variably patterned leaves. Each flower is on its own stem, bent downwards 150-180° at the end. There are 5 petals, connected at the base, bent outwards or up, and sometimes twisted.
And now a word from another sponsor. cyclamen photos (I had to add this to try another website.)
That’s a lot of pink and magenta for someone who didn’t notice flowers or like those hues rather recently. Something’s happening, and I don’t know where I am going. Do you know what changes will occur for you?
