Heloniopsis orientalis flowers at the beginning of flowering part 3

This is a photo of heloniopsis orientalis that were just beginning to bloom, taken while their flower stalks were still short.
Their flower stalks' length was less than 5 cm at the shooting day, so it was hard to believe for me at that time that they would eventually grow up to over 30cm finally.
Anyways, I shot them many times that day, because I thought that I got a valuable chance to take flowers, flower stalks, roots of flower stalks, and leaves all in one photo with zoom-up.
This photo of them was taken with the intention of clearly showing how the flowers are growing from the top of the flower stalk.
In addition to do that properly, I could capture also the state of flowers that were just starting to open.
I'm happy that I was able to take a valuable photo and I like it.

開花し始めの頃のショウジョウバカマ その３

まだ花茎が短いうちに撮った、開花し始めの頃のショウジョウバカマの写真です。
ここから花茎が伸びて最終的には30cm以上になったのですが、写真の段階では5cmにも満たず、にわかには信じがたいぐらいです。
花も花茎も花茎の根元も葉も、すべてをアップで撮影できる貴重な機会でしたので、この日は何枚も写真を撮りました。
そのうちのこの写真は、花茎の天辺に花がどうついているのかをハッキリ写そうと決めて撮ったものです。
それはきちんと果たされた上に、開き始めたばかりの花の状態も収めることができました。
私としては、貴重な写真にできたことが嬉しく、気に入っています。
