Bougainvillea Bulb

January Zelene 3:19 PM Flower 101 , Macro Monday , Macro Photography 6 comments

Hubby picked a white bougainvillea flower at our neighbor's front yard to have another experiment on macro. Our aim was to take a close-up shot of the tubular flower in between the white bract of this beautiful Brazilian flower called Bougainvillea.

This is the closest we can get.

So many people confuse the bracts with the flowers on this one, don't they? The flowers are so interesting though, blown up like this so you can see them.

We had a beautiful rosy red one in our yard in New Zealand. Fun to have such an exotic plant in our garden while we were there. :)

Nice one Jan. You might also try photographing from the side to get more of the "stem" in focus. Macro and focus is always a tradeoff. Stop down as far as you can and use a slow shutter speed.
