I thought this very common plant does not bloom, but on March 6, 2010 while spending the day at Taytay Swimming Pool, I came across bushes of croton and found them to be blooming with tiny star like flower. Good thing hubby and I brought our DIY macro lens and ring light and took a close-up shot of this pretty star flowers.
Here it is and hope you like how I took it...
This is my Mellow Yellow Monday and Macro Monday for today.
By the way this is one of the vast species of croton plant that I have took last year.
Enjoy!
How pretty!
