The Many Faces Of The Purple Coneflower
These grow on my property and are one of may favorite flowers as they’re so photogenic and are also used to produce a popular herbal tea.
These coneflowers of the Echinacea species are used to make an extremely popular herbal tea, purported to help strengthen the immune system; an extract is also available in tablet or liquid form in pharmacies and health food stores. Often cultivated, Purple Coneflower is a showy, easily grown garden plant.
What Do High-Color, Closeups, Raindrops and Abstractness Have In Common
They are the by-products of a rainy day at the 13th Annual Wildflower Festival at Cedar Breaks National Monument in Southern Utah.
Cedar Breaks Flora
Cedar Breaks National Monument is a geologic marvel but in July, visitors come for the floral display. At over 10,000 feet in elevation, the seasons arrive later than sooner.
The Many Faces Of The Coneflower
The Coneflower can take on many shapes and looks. It’s the ultimate shape shifter!
Photo Of The Week- Macro Sunflower
Have you really looked at a sunflower closeup? Looks like stars or starfish around a scoop of beluga caviar. I used an extension tube, not my 105mm macro lens. The extension tubes are cheap and allow you to get in really close. They attach between your normal lens and the camera body. Kenko extension tubes come in a set of three and are available at B & H Photo where I buy most of my photo gear. Excellent customer service. Click on image for larger view.

Photo Of The Week- The Notorious Sacred Datura Flower
This desert flower blooms at night and has an evil reputation because of its psychedelic powers. DO NO CONSUME THIS.
Per desertusa.com-
“The bristly fruit and stale-smelling leaves of the Sacred Datura speak to a more sinister side of the plant, to a dark and fearsome netherworld of poison and potential emotional collapse, physical sickness and even death. It suggests visions of the brooding and frightening forests of the Brothers Grimm. These parts of the plant have given rise to alternative names such as Devil’s Trumpet, Deadly Nightshade, Thorn Apple, Mad Apple, Hairy Jimson-weed, Stink Weed, Green Dragon and Locoweed.”
I wonder who was the first to find this out. You can purchase this image as a print or downloadable file at Dawn2dawnphotography.com/sacred datura
