Sand Flower

Posted by Jen (Alpharetta, United States) on 10 January 2008 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

I have no idea what the correct name for this flower is but they grow in the dunes near the beach.

Beautiful macro! The flour is beautiful and I can see the sand on the root system! I've seen these "vines" on the beach, but I've never send the flower! Thank you for capturing this image!

WOW….. this is sooooo tender and gentle, and somehow has this beautiful ethereal quality to it too, its colour and texture, contrasted with the background. Yet again, a truly amazing find and capture, dear Jen!
