Flowerscapes- A tiny flower from backyard



When I open my door I get the sight of a garden full of tiny colorful flowers and a green lawn. Instead of going out in search of subjects I thought of clicking macro shots in my backyard itself. I tried many different angles and I liked this one the most. It is Himalayan Geranium, a perennial plant and is beautiful with blue petals, white centre and the deep dark veins! Also called as Lilac Cranesbill, grows in California too!

      Thank you Betty! Most of the little beautiful things are at home which we fail to observe!

    That is beautiful, not only because i am biased to blues and purples, but because i have difficulty getting shots like this!

    I think I'm familiar with this one. I believe it visited me in the garden once. Do they grow as wildflowers?

      I don't think it grows as a wildflower because it is not native. Good you too have seen it!

      Thank you Anuradha. Well, from internet obviously! I had taken a free course from CA State Parks on IDing wildflowers, that helps a bit.
