Theme - Withered flowers
« on: March 26, 2021, 21:49:01 »
While fresh flowers are really nice, i kinda like to photograph them when they've withered a bit. Only thing i have to make sure of is to do this before my wife throws them out  ;D

So, i thought ... let's make a theme out of this  8)

They may not necessarily be withered because of the abundance of water.

I was planning to add flowers in this condition -and beyond- to the death and decay section (which regarded mainly humans and animals), but then since you created this thread, I will put my additions here.
Congrats for the idea!

Here's a recent one (2021-03-26), from one of the strolls on the hilly slopes around my hometown Bologna

Nikon Df, AFS-VRII Zoom-Nikkor 28-300mm/3.5~5.6

In this area we usually see the first daffodils bloom about the 5th to 15th of February. Despite being a bit late this year the flowers were killed by a record frost (though the plants have survived.)

Caper flowers

Capers are an essential ingredient in some pizzas, and also in some pasta sauces

But they are collected from the plants before the blooming of the flowers.
This one escaped collection, and it's almost at the fruit stage: in a couple of days the petals will fly away, and a green cherry-like fruit will develop.
There are at least three ready-to-pick capers underneath the flower.
