When I think of Chrysanthemum, I always think of an explosion of petals rather like those ballroom dancing dresses from the 1970's. This is not that.

It looks like we are going to get a nice sunny day here in The Netherlands. This portrait suits that quite nicely, don't you think?

The red ones of these are very photogenic. These also have their charm.

In the current climate, the best thing you can do is find something to smile about. Actually the real best thing you can do is protest peacefully, but finding a reason to smile must be up there somewhere.

Winding and wrinkly, they look like the come from a fairy tale. What's your fairy tale flower?

What's the strangest looking flower you can think of?

These are quite a weird example. From above they look like some sort of alien brain, and have a strange shimmer.

You don't always have to be made up to perfection to take a good portrait. Sometimes, just a bit of honest connection can be so much more powerful.

Today's flower photo is a Jerusalem artichoke from my back garden. Unfortunately, the recent storms blew it over, so we won't be able to harvest it. Do you know of any other vegetables which produce such beautiful flowers?
