Wat do you think of these macros?

[Tight Knot]

The flower looks similar to Salsify.

Hi Ron,

Thanks for the reply. I looked up the salsify flower on google image search, and well, there are over 140 types. I looked through alot of the pictures, but can't find one that has the same center stamen shape at all. Maybe I am missing something. Do you have an image I could look at?

I said similar, not that it is Salsify. As you discovered, there are many different ones. Here is a pic of a wild one here that developed a seed head.

Edit: found a shot of one in bloom.

Got it!! Thanks. Beautiful photos as usual Ron. I especially love the blue in the 2nd photo, it really helps to draw more attention to the yellow of the flower
