Datura flower

Beautiful (almost) immaculate rubbish plant. Nature is beautiful. Your

comments are most welcome.

Hedge Bindweed, we call it. Nice delicate shot. I have one somewhere...

 

Could be good in b/w!

Thanks for your comments. Yes, it is beautiful in BW. No, it is not a hedge blindweed but Datura meteloides (you can see the typical spiny fruits on the left of the flower). This highly toxic plant if from the potato family. Thank-you for your interest. I have visited your portfolio and like it very much, especially the very lively portraits and the flowers. Cheers, Yves.

I like your colored version. Only thing I would change, and this is nitpicking is I would try to get the bottom little sliver of the flower in the frame. other wise, very cool, nice angle on the flower as well. Thanks for sharing - Lex

Thank-you Lex. Here it is.

Lovely Floral Image Yves! Here we have these growing on the side of the roads. (The plant is known localy as jimson weed.) They have a symbiotic relationship with the Hawk Moth that can have a proboscus of up to a foot long and that easily reaches into the flower. It's relationship is symbiotic in that the flower is narcotic and the moth is addicted... It may be true that there are no coincindences... Cheers, Raymond
