The flower

Echinops ritro, Linneae, 1753
It is a beautiful ornamental plant whose inflorescences, ball-shaped compact, are colored blue to intense blue. Besides its inflorescence, characteristic, it also recognizes its deeply dissected leaves and often two-tone (which differentiates it from E. sphaerocephalus, whose leaves are much broader and less cut).

The plant is very appetizing for the bees, to whom it provides an abundant nectar. The plant is considered diuretic and as treating certain skin diseases.

It is a plant rather southern from Mediterranean climate.

The photograph

The photograph was made with the FinePix S602 Zoom, mode aperture priority. Good lighting has allowed to use an equivalent sensitivity of iso-160 and the aperture f / 8. The speed was 1 / 210 th of a second.

Hola Philippe,
Una planta molt interessant per la seva coloració blavenca que te has captat de forma meravellosa, una bona composició.
Salutacions cordials. Ferran

Cher Philippe

Je viens de découvrir ta gallerie d'images et je suis impressionné par la qualité et la diversité de tes images.

J'aime beaucoup cette image, elle est toute simple, bien contrastée et le point de vue vertical crée un effet particulier.

Amitiés

Markus

Bonjour Philippe,
Très belle macro bien composée dans un cadrage serré permettant l'apprécier la finesse des détails et la délicatesse des couleurs malgré un éclairage un peu trop violent.
A bientôt sur TN pour de nouvelles aventures.
