THE SUBJECT: / Here we have a nice set of Actinotus helianthus (Flannel Flower) basking in the mid-afternoon sun on a warm Spring day. THE LOCATION: / The shot was made whilst on a wildflower hunt with a couple of Port Macquarie Panthers Camera Club friends along the Flower Bowl Walk in the Kattang Nature Reserve at Dunbogan, south of Port Macquarie, NSW, Australia. THE MAKING OF ‘Flannel Flower Lampshades’: / The photograph has been purposely under exposed by taking the metering directly from the brightest flower to show the full affect of the sunlight on the petals of the open flowers, making them look like lamps with inverted lampshades. / What I really like about the final result is the wonderful natural composition of the flower head, the clarity of detail and of course that glorious light. / Fuji S9600: RAW, Manual settings of f/3.7 @ 1/400sec, Auto focus, ISO80, Hand held. / S7RAW & Photoshop CS. Visit my Aussie Wildflower collection in my BubbleSite Gallery for more native gems. Enjoy! UPDATE: 06-04-09 / These fabulous Flannels have been awarded the POTD in the Shutterbugs Theme Section. UPDATE: 12-4-09 / Someone with impeccable tase, a love of light and beautiful Aussie wildflowers has bought a Medium Laminated Print of these fabulous Flannels.

The sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is an annual plant in the family Asteraceae and native to the Americas, with a large flowering head (inflorescence). The stem can grow as high as 3 metres, and the flower head can reach 30 cm in diameter with the “large” seeds. The term “sunflower” is also used to refer to all plants of the genus Helianthus, many of which are perennial plants. What is usually called the flower is actually a head (formally composite flower) of numerous florets (small flowers) crowded together. The outer florets are the sterile ray florets and can be yellow, maroon, orange, or other colors. The florets inside the circular head are called disc florets, which mature into what are traditionally called “sunflower seeds,” but are actually the fruit (an achene) of the plant. The inedible husk is the wall of the fruit and the true seed lies within the kernel. The florets within the sunflower’s cluster are arranged in a spiraling pattern. Typically each floret is oriented toward the next by approximately the golden angle, producing a pattern of interconnecting spirals where the number of left spirals and the number of right spirals are successive Fibonacci numbers. Typically, there are 34 spirals in 1 direction and 55 in the other; on a very large sunflower you may see 89 in one direction and 144 in the other. source: wikipedia

The Latin name for sunflowers is Helianthus, which derives from the name Helios who was the Greek god of the sun

Narrow-leaved sunflower prefers moist, well drained soil. It blooms most profusely in direct sunlight between September and November along the roadside and at the edge of the pinelands here in Florida. It grows in all of the Eastern United States. It readily joins many wildflower beds to attract butterflies and bees. It dies back in winter but returns i spring and can be started from the seed or by root division. My source says it grows to 6 feet, I’ve seen it here in Florida at least 7 if not close to eight feet – taller than me for sure.

This is what I set off to see today, that and hopefully some Liatris and butterfly’s. the golden rod is just coming into full bloom and looking good. but the black eyed susan’s are magnificent. These were taken off US 41 north of Lake City on the way to White Springs, Florida. there is a shallow ditch and a rise between the road and the railroad tracks that run parallel. there were about 25 yards of these Helianthus. Tall stems over 6 feet high, the blossoms are about 5 or 6 inches across. Don’t you think they are just smashing?
