Description
Yellow Daisies. In this summery horizontal composition, three bright yellow daisies dominate the foreground, backed up by a riot of yellow and greens from neighboring flowers. The background is well out of focus, helping to isolate the subject, but in focus enough to lend context to the image. Residing in full sun with a very dark far background, the flowers show great contrast. A great summer image. Photographed in a field 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. See my many other photos of flowers.
