Flower of the Day – July 15, 2015 – Unknown | cocoaevenings

I love white, and so I could not help taking a photo of this little white flower growing in a bush by the overhead bridge.

I love how perfectly symmetrical the five petals grow. I love the apparent female pistil with tiny little stigma and style. I love the ten miniature stamen with pretty yellow anther and pale green filament. And I love the rich green leaves surrounding all of the white goodness.

Do you happen to know the name of this flower?

Enjoy.

    So beautiful. I love flowers with very obvious stamens and pistils that seem to form another little exotic flower in the center. Often I photograph these central parts on their own. It looks like some sort of lily, but the leaves don’t look right for a lily. I don’t know much about flower names, but like you, I always want to know! Here is my flower of the day: http://judydykstrabrown.com/2015/07/15/orchid-cees-flower-a-day-challenge/

      Nice! Yes, pistils and stamen. Sunflower has one of the most amazing tiny little pistil. Too bad that I could not get a closer shot of the flower parts as I usually only carry my handphone, no proper camera.
