Great post, Kimberly. It's good to see these photos together in a series.

Dirty Girl Gardening said...

Wow, love those pics! That would make a fabulous set of pics on a wall.

Marie said...

Great post :)
Beautiful photos :)

As all agree - beautiful pictures! I am developing serious camera envy. Tell us about your camera. Or have you already and I missed it? Tell us about your technique. My Kodak Easyshare point and shoot wants a big brother but I don't know what to look for in a camera. Obviously, I'm no photog. I love the seeds!

Maia said...

How beautiful, you've followed with your photos a whole life cycle and evolution of this beautiful flower.
All your photos are great macros, the last photo with the pattern of the seeds looks like a beautiful silk (fabric).

Susan said...

I'm glad to see your garden is making progress. Great photos...clever post!

Toby said...

A thing of beauty!

What a wonderful post, following a flower in all stages of it's life cycle. The fact that is one of my favorite flowers makes this post just perfect in my eyes :-)

Lillebeth said...

Heisann!
Amazing pattern, beautiful flowers!
Have a nice weekend.

Katarina said...

That's a lovely post! Enjoyed it a lot.
Happy Blooming Friday!

That was a lot of fun to see, great post!

Kimberly said...

Happy Friday, everyone! Thank you so much for your kind comments. I'm glad you like my lifecycle of the purple cone flower! It's one of my favorite flowers.
NanaK, my camera is simple. It's a sony dsc-700...a simple point and shoot. However, it takes better macros than regular photos. I'm not happy with the color quality sometimes, but there's so many settings that I could be at fault vs. the camera.

WOW its amazing to see the progress. Its beautiful.

Rosie said...

yeah I like this progress one Kimberly - Echinacea's just don't like my garden very well - they die out after a few years.

Meredith said...

Oh, I love how you've shown the entire cycle, Kimberly. That is progress I can get behind 100%. :)

Beautiful and "That´s life"

That is a truly lovely series of photos Kimberly! I think they are all beautiful, but I do really like the whorl effect captured in the third picture.

BernieH said...

Clever premise for a post ... great set of photos to go with it. Nice one!

Kimberly said...

This is one of my favorite posts...I love the purple cone flower (although I think it's pink)!
