Poke Weed

A few days ago i was trimming around the fence and cut down some very tall weeks. I saw that they had small blooms and some had opened into small flowers. I decided to keep two of the tall weeds and then cut a few of the blooms, with stems, and brought them into the macro photography area. They seemed to be an interesting way for me to learn more about stacking macro images. Here are some of those results:

leaves, stem and small blooms; the top ones

not open yet and the bottoms ones fully open.

I think this is the first series i've felt that i actually was able to do what i was trying to do which is give a sense of the whole plant (the stem-branch) down to its smallest component.  

There is still more to go as the pistil can be photographed separately and the green pillow-stool is pretty amazing.

Stay tuned, more to follow.
