From the technical viewpoint not a perfect bloom while the wind was tugging at the petals or some insects thought this to be a nice little meal but nevertheless a radiant flower...
and look - there are flowers within the flower...
"Dahlia" (Asteraceae) Dahlien
Thanks to Elle this is NOT a Dahlia but "Zinnia" - belongs to the same family

I absolutely love your photos...the beautiful flowers, the close ups, the vibrant colors, the bees, insects, water droplets, everything!!!
Cheers
Your site seriously has to be the most beautiful photography site I've been to. I'm a beginning DSLR user and I'd be real interested to know what you used to take these photos, do you use a macro lense?
Thanks again for posting these incredible photos, I love coming here to view what you've put up.
Hi Heather - thanks for visiting again and you lovely compliment!
Hi deb - thanks for your sweet comments. I am using a Finepix s9500 - this is a so-called prosumer camera and not a DSLR. There is an inbuilt macro in this camera which I am using very often. Real macro lenses can show even more detail - I wished I had one of those but currently
I am very happy with this camera which has a magnificent value for money. Before that I have worked with an analog SLR for many years. But the costs of film and development was a big downturn!
Gorgeous!
how stunning Petra !!
that last photo with the inner circle of yellow flowers is just magical!!!
have a wonderful weekend :)
Beautiful!
Gorgeous shots, Petra! I especially love the image of the dahlia.
Kim - thank you. I found it somehow sweet - that rather scattered little bloom and then that tiny little wreath - as if the flower wanted to say "I am beautiful despite my scars..." - wouldn't this make a wonderful metaphor?
Beautiful photos, but um, thos are zinnias...
Hi Elle - thank you for correcting!!
