Friday night's flowers were pink button carnations.
Such a standard in flower arrangements, carnations are often over looked; the supporting character.
But I see them as superstars - simple, yet essential. They make the bouquet complete.

I haven't seen carnations in ages - the first picture is just amazing - great perspective!
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing. You do know how to use that macro lens thats for sure.
ReplyDeleteHugs~
Great shots. I like carnations because they last so long.
ReplyDeleteSuch a soft, lovely pink. Just love it!
ReplyDeleteNery pretty. Mmmm/ I want to take a deep whiff of a carnation now. ;))
ReplyDeleteLove that last one - the potential waiting to burst open and all those layers of petals!
ReplyDeleteWhat pieces of art you've created.
ReplyDelete"They make the bouquet complete. " and often have a wonderful spicy fragrance as well. These are all beautiful but I like the way you have picked up that little bit of sheen on the petals in #2
ReplyDeleteLove the bud
ReplyDeleteLovely macro captures of this pretty pink carnation, Nicki! I agree, there is something about a carnation that adds to the bouquet.
ReplyDeleteI think I actually could smell them...beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove that shade of pink with the black background! Such an ethereal feeling.
ReplyDeleteWow, those are beautiful. I still need to practice with my Nikkor :). Thanks also for visiting us at pret-a-vivre.com.
