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.

Two Central Florida photographers with an interest in nature, landscape, bird, flower, space, technology, and architecture photography.
A macro view of the partially-opened Red Bottlebrush flower.
Non-native to the Americas (from Australia, in fact), they thrive in Central and Southern Florida, but are not considered invasive.
This macro view is of the flower opening. The buds start out as small, green pods directly on the woody stem. The pods then erupt with red, filament-like flowers.
