A cluster of flowers on a society garlic plant. The tulbaghia violacea, though sometimes called “wild garlic,” is not garlic and may be mildly toxic in high doses, though the Zulu people of Africa, where the plant is native, use its leaves as a kind of salad green.
This macro view highlights a small number of small, purple flowers on top of a stalk, with the background harshly out of focus, giving the appearance that the flowers are supported by nothing and simply hang in the middle third of the image.

Taken in a macro style, these two Passion Flower blooms show the complex beauty of a passion flower. The three pointed tips of the stamen on top, the three points of the carpel underneath, the many, dramatic coronal filaments, and the petals, are all plainly in focus in the foreground flower, and just slightly out of focus on the background flower.
The composition lends itself to the Rule of Thirds, with two flowers on the bottom 2/3, with top 1/3 allowing for headspace.
The foreground flower also takes up the left 2/3, and the background flower the right 1/3.
