When I created this fractal it reminded me of a flower but I could not work out which one… so I asked my father who is a macro flower photographer and he gave me the title. / Isopogons are natives that are usually circular and have appealing bits hanging off them. / / /

Blossom’s_Photo_Gallery Isopogon anethifolius Isopogon – from the Greek, isos, equal, and pogon, a beard, referring to the hairs that evenly cover the fruit; / anethifolius – from Anethum, a plant of the flannel flower family, and folium, a leaf (i.e. with leaves like Anethum) Isopogon anethifolius occurs in the coastal region and Blue Mountains of New South Wales and is one of about six eastern Isopogon species. The common name of Drumsticks alludes to the large knob-like fruits which are a feature of the bush. The bright yellow flowers are crowded in globular heads at the ends of branches in late spring and throughout the summer months. The fruit, of about 2.5 cm in diameter, persists on the plant for a considerable length of time. It is attractive, both on the plant and in floral decorations.

This beautifully backlit Isopogon anemonifolius (Broad-leaved Drumstick) was photographed along a track in the Diamond Head area of Crowdy Bay National Park, Laurieton, NSW, Australia, on a lovely spring afternoon. (I seem to be making quite a few backlit shots this spring. I think it’s due to the translucence and glow the light gives the subjects and in some cases how it reveals the inner structure of leaves etc). The flower’s position and the angle of shot I wanted negated the use of a tripod so I reverted to my old close-up technique of a high shutter speed to control highlights and camera shake, the tilt screen to frame the shot and my arms pushed forward so the camera strap is hard against the back of my neck for the optimum stability. This is a little more difficult than with my old Fuji due to the manual focus set-up but with practice it poses no problems. Fuji S9600: RAW, Manual setting of f/3.6 @ 1/500sec, Manual focus, Hand held. / Lightroom 1.1 & Photoshop CS3.

This unusual Aussie wildflower is a great example of Isopogon petiolaris (Drumstick) in bud. Each little yellow “trumpet” is a single flower growing from a round cone, hence the drumstick name. The buds form and begin flowering from the base of the cone and as the lower buds are pollinated or dry up, the next rows begin to flower. I was most fortunate to find this Drumstick before any of the buds opened. The photograph was made at Grant’s Head Nature Reserve, Bonny Hills, south of Port Macquarie, NSW, Australia, on an overcast spring afternoon. Fuji S9600: RAW, Macro, f/8 @ 1/110sec, Manual focus, Tripod, Timer. / Lightroom 1.1 & Photoshop CS3. Visit the Aussie Wildflowers collection in my BubbleSite Gallery for more native floral delights. UPDATE: 1-7-09 / My developing Drumstick was a finalist in the “Protaceae Family Group’s:http://www.redbubble.com/groups/the-protacea-family July Avatar Challenge and has been featured in the Group. UPDATE: 25-8-09 / This delightful Drumstick was awarded a MERIT in the Port Macquarie Panthers Camera Club’s July 2009 Open Print Competition in the Small Prints section. Enjoy!

A beautiful flower along the track at Beecroft Headland Reserve. Anyone know it’s name please tell me ! / (Huge thanks to Bruce aka wombatwal fdr telling me the name, much appreciated) There are hundreds of wild flowers in bloom along the tracks at the moment. I think the plants are flowering up because they know the fires and rains are coming. The new seeds will germinate in the heat from the fires. Australian plants are a pretty good guide to the weather but we never ask them !
