Regenerating flowers
I didn't ask this one if it was dicot or monocot. I took the Eucharistic approach.

Tom,
This is beautiful and intriguing. It'd very abstract and evocative. What flower is it and how does it look uncropped.

Hi,
just by the wayside but small and down at the ground: Anemone nemorosa
PS: this is a very little spring flower in the broad-leaved forests here in Austria, Switzerland, Germany ... it covers wide areas with its tender white blossoms.

It just looks like a flower, Asher. I'm not big on flower pictures so I have to push myself to find the bit that interests me. This usually results in an almost abstract image. Photographing them is a bit like meditation: converting an unpleasant though into a pleasant one.

Yes, indeed, Tom,
These are so abstract that origin and taxonomy fades to irrelevance. I enjoy your imaging with such destructive yet creative lens work. We should have a separate section for "Abstractions from Flowers".

Well, Chris,
It's already working on me! I like the use of the space and allowing enough emptiness for our own deliberations. Print it large!~!

Back to strolls around Beverly Hills CA partly due to dog-sitting while my son is away!
These Flowers of the tropical milkweed plant - Asclepias curassavica are so attractive to insects and especially monarch butterflies, that those which flower in the winter too confuse and stop migration of monarch butterflies!

fun to see the diverse types of flowers and plants you have your way. We here still have snow... but it's disappearing but I'm anxious to have flowers growing outside too

Asher Kelman: Clytostoma
(Lavender Trumpet Vine)
(Lavender Trumpet Vine)
An evergreen vine clambers over anything! The 3-inch-wide trumpet-shaped lavender flowers have intricate darker purple veins and appear in pairs.
These flowers are followed by an interesting spiny elongated fruit.

Asher Kelman: Bee exploring Pincushion Yellow Bird
This is remarkably attractive flower.
“High Gold' is a hybrid shrub known as the Golden Nodding Pincushion, featuring yellow dome-shaped flowers and gray-green leaves.
It’s a dicot belonging to the family of proteaceae. It thrives in full sun, is drought-tolerant once established, and grows to about 4-5 feet tall and 6-8 feet wide.
