We have a number of rose bushes and this single clematis vine that winds it's way up a trellis during the spring and summer. It's one of my favorites. Flower centers are often drab compared to the brilliantly colored petals of the flower, but they are often very texturally rich, if you manage to capture them in the right light and angle. I love the flower within a flower look of the clematis. The little black dots on the "petals" and the "crown" on the center are things you don't notice when you zoom out to appreciate the whole flower.

Love the details in this shot and the background colour of the petals.
Ahhhhhh! I see now how you get those great shots ...macro. I guess if I ever want to take shots like that Im going to have to upgrade my camera...
Lovely flower shot Kate. The detail is amazing.
What a pretty shot. I love your "flower within a flower" description. I never thought of it that way, but it's perfect. Very pretty shot. Thanks for posting to Foto Finish.
Beautiful!
At first glance, I thought it was a spider mum - definitely a "flower within a flower".
Thanks for sharing with us.
