!oacaruC morf olleH, That’s a big backwards Hello from Curacao for you all this fine evening! By request again and not from the same people, here are more “now blooming” Curacao Wildflowers. Again I shot these with my 105 macro so these are very small flowers! In fact the one at the top left, the whole cluster of flowers is the size of a pencil eraser! Most of these I found along the road and I am sure they are some kind of weed but boy are they ever beautiful! The top right is my newest re-shoot of those tiny starfish looking flowers which I just found the name for. They are called, Tournefortia Volubilis, ( Boraginaceae) Twining Soldierbush and the salmon colored flower at the bottom right both open when the sun hits them in the morning and close within two hours, that’s it! I saw a ton of the blue flowers this morning out in the desert like the ones in the left hand corner. This flower grows wild in big bushes and when blooming like they were this morning it’s quite a sight! I have found it close to impossible to get nice shots out in the wild as the wind is always blowing. For the orange starfish flower photo I first found a cluster I liked then gently cut it and stuck the cut end in a piece of dried wood that was on the ground and used my camera case as the background. I laid on my stomach in the dirt and blocked the wind with my body and thanks to my little tripod I was able to make it work, this is what we go thru for a single photo.
We are off to an employee party, see you all again tomorrow. If you find names for any of the flowers I have sent please let me know so I can update my web page.
See ya, Barry
