[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Continuing with my wild flower series I present today another tiny flower which grows abundantly everywhere. The magenta petals and yellow pollens really makes it very pretty and this colour contrast looks charming and beautiful. It is more abundant during monsoon and attract tiny blue butterflies, bees and hoverflies. But I have noticed as the sun light became harsh these flowers tend to crumple and go lump, looking fresh again during evening.

Unfortunately my efforts to properly identify it was not fruitful and I seek advise and help from our learned members to help me in identifying it.

Shot taken hand-held in reasonably good light conditions. Hope everyone like this simple presentation.

Good morning, Sumon!

It's a great pleasure to discover this beauty this morning. It's refreshing and helps to start the day in a good temper. The joyful colours are very attractive and the crystal clear petals add to the value of the picture.

Kind regards

Hi Sumon,
i agree with Markus, a very nice sight to see this morning! Exceptional sharp detail and clarity, love the vivid colour and the DOF is excellent, very well done!

Hallo Sumon
I really like this image. The cerise coloured flower is truly beautiful. I like the way you captured the 2 stages of the flower's cycle. The unopened pinkish blossom and the opened flowers in all its splendour. The yellow anthers covered with pollen dust on the inside of the flower adds a special touch to this bright and beautiful posting and rounds it of well. The green you have used as background highlights the loveliness of this flower even more. Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards
Anna
