I was just searching through my archives for images I hadn’t yet posted here and found this one. It’s one of the first images I took with my 105mm macro.
These little flowers are very tiny! They’re not the “usual” fuschia flowers that one usually sees hanging in baskets. These flowers grow on a green and white leafed plant rooted in the ground and I’d say the flower is maybe an inch long or so, if that. Unfortunately I don’t know the name of the plant…shocker! If anyone does, I’d love to hear what it is.
I hope everyone has a wonderful day. 🙂

A fuschia pixie? It’s a pretty photo whatever it is. 🙂
September 7, 2014 at 7:50 am
That is so cute, fuschia pixie. hehe Thank you 😀
September 7, 2014 at 7:57 am
Beautiful photo! It might be a bleeding heart. I’ll look it up and let you know.
September 7, 2014 at 7:57 am
Oh! Thanks for checking!
September 7, 2014 at 8:25 am
you’re welcome!
September 7, 2014 at 8:24 am
All I could find out is that it is not a bleeding heart, and that there are no other pictures of that type of flower that Google could find online. Sorry I was unable to identify it for you.
September 7, 2014 at 8:25 am
Thank you for checking. It’s so strange that I can’t find the flower either. I was googling myself before I posted it hoping I could identify it in the blog. Maybe someone else will recognize it. Hope you have a great sunday. 🙂

Thank you so much Leslie. It is a stunning little flower. 🙂
September 7, 2014 at 8:22 am
Sure is. I had some Fuschsia in a hanging basket at the front door and they were spectacular.

Glad you are posting again – this is a lovely bloom and unusual – maybe a cross pollenator
September 7, 2014 at 8:57 am
Thank you Diana. I have to admit I will need to google cross pollentaor lol.
September 7, 2014 at 9:26 am

September 8, 2014 at 6:24 am
Finding a lovely image in one’s archives is like finding a $20 bill under the bed.
September 8, 2014 at 6:53 am
Yes it is exactly like that. Perfect!
September 8, 2014 at 6:55 am

Thank you. A teeny tiny beaut! 🙂
September 8, 2014 at 8:59 am
It is so beautiful, and knowing how small it is just makes it more impressive. I really need to work on macro like this.
September 8, 2014 at 9:35 am
Thank you Shelby. It is amazing how tiny it is.
September 8, 2014 at 12:06 pm
One of the things I love about macros is how much different things that we *think* we know appear when the view changes so. 🙂
September 8, 2014 at 1:01 pm
True! I really love this lens!
September 8, 2014 at 4:21 pm
exquisite!!!
September 8, 2014 at 8:26 pm
Thank you!
September 10, 2014 at 9:55 am
Gorgeous macro, Laura. I love your perspective on how you took this flower. Sorry, though I do not know the name of this. I usually don’t either, so don’t feel so bad. I just take pictures because flowers are so beautiful. Again, stunning, classical image!!! Love, Amy
September 10, 2014 at 11:52 am
Thank you 🙂
September 10, 2014 at 12:07 pm
You are SO welcome, Laura. I see you and your macro are really getting bonded. This is good. GRIN! Love, Amy
September 10, 2014 at 10:17 am
Hi Laura,
I’ve been meaning to come by your sight for awhile as I’ve seen your name “around the blogs” 🙂
This is a lovely photo! Aren’t those stamen so tiny?
Beautiful!
September 10, 2014 at 2:14 pm
My first thought was the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland.
September 11, 2014 at 7:20 am
Oh yes! I can see that. 🙂
September 11, 2014 at 12:25 pm
I should be honest, my first thought was “Off with her head!”. Then I thought of the Queen of Hearts. he he he. 😀
September 12, 2014 at 5:23 pm
Amazing
and so beautiful
September 17, 2014 at 8:49 pm
