Description
Field of Orange and Yellow Daisies. In this horizontal sunny summer composition, a frenzy of yellow and orange blossoms riot the field of view, set against their own greenery, from the indistinct flashes of color in the out-of-focus background through the in focus subject blossoms and on into painting-like background, also pleasingly out of focus. The flowers are all oriented in the same general direction, as if paying homage to the sun. A great summer scene. Photographed in Oregon. Flowers are used by plants for sexual reproduction. They contain the plant’s reproductive organs. The female organs are in the pistil, which is often a single center stalk within the blossom. The pistil is made up of the stigma, style, and ovary. The male reproductive organs are in the stamen. Often there are many stamens, each a filament with a bulb (anther) on the end, surrounding the pistil. On the anthers you find the pollen granules, each granule containing the plant’s sperm. The purpose bright colors and scents and nectar of the flower is to attract animals like bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, so that the pollen can be transferred from the stamen to the pistil, or to the pistils of other flowers (even on other plants of the same species). In this way the ovum are fertilized and the plant’s fruit develops, containing the seeds which are the product of the plant’s sexual reproduction and will develop into adult plants.
