Soprano Vanilla Spoon © 2008 Bo Mackison
Osteospermum hybrid.
A fun sort of flower, this little purple blossom with spoon-like appendages.
About Bo MackisonI'm a photographer, book-artist, traveler, naturalist, and creator of the Contemplative Creatives Journey, An Online Workshop and Community and Desert Wisdom Cards and Workshops. Though often not well known, I find the desert a welcoming place - a healing space. Its mysteries and gifts transformed me several years ago. Since that first encounter, I return again and again to fill my well in what most people think of as a desolate region. I'd love to share my desert discoveries and wisdom with you. Please subscribe to receive my five part mini email course The Gifts of the Desert. It's my gift to you.
Very interesting petals on this flower. I love the visual feel of this pix. The flower feels like it’s floating up to see the viewer. Very, very fascinating.
What did you do to this one? I really like how it came out.
Unusual petals… like flowering spoons. I haven’t seen a flower like this. Nice! 🙂
gandalf – it is floating a bit, isn’t it?
Chris – softened the whole thing.
Anna – I’d never seen it before either, saw it in a garden center. I think it must be a newer hybred.
this whole picture works so well. great flower!!!
This is a cool flower. I like the effect that the picture has.
