Sorry, didn’t see a name for this one either.

I guess I spent more time looking at the flowers and not enough time at their names.  Don’t know this one either.

Tracy was so right…I spent a lot of time taking pictures of flowers at the Botanical Gardens.  Duh!  B-o-t-a-n-i-c-a-l  Garden.  It was a no-brainer.

Your pictures are lovely. Mine of these same specimens didn't turn out so well. But that's okay ~ I have yours to admire!

Diane AZ said...

Hi, nice macros! I would guess your mystery blooms are Blanket Flower, Purple Aster, some kind of Coreopsis.

Magpie said...

I believe Diane is pretty spot on about her guesses, but I must say I like Brian's name for the Blanket Flower. :)

Tracy said...
