Raditha’s Photos

Here is another dew on flower cliche photo

Morning dew on a red flower. The name of which I know not

It’s not a satellite earth station but part of a flower. I believe it’s called ‘Stamens’, but please do correct me if I am wrong, botany is my weakest subject.

Over the Christmas holidays I took more than 500 photos with a Micro Nikkor and have about a 100 keepers. Going to bore you with them over the coming weeks. But don’t worry I will throw in a few non macro photos in between

This flower has many different names including Conch flower, Butterfly Pea, Nil Katarolu (නිල් කටරොළු) , Nil Katrol (නිල් කට්රොල්) but the most interesting of them all is without doubt Clitoria ternatea, a name derived from the word Clitoris.
