Swede’s Photographs<p>Chrysanthemum in Bloom</p><p>This is an overhead photograph of a yellow chrysanthemum, also known as a florist's daisy or hardy garden mum. The edges of the image are intentionally darkened, drawing attention to the flower’s vibrant center. Its layered petals peel back in a way that reminds me of the "blooming onion" served at restaurants, creating a striking visual effect. The petals unfold from the core, revealing a deep, shadowed center that adds an air of mystery. Too numerous to count, the petals transition from a rich yellow at the heart to a soft lime green at the outer edges, enhancing the chrysanthemum's intricate beauty.</p><p>I don't always take great photographs, but when I do, you can find them at:</p><p><a href="https://swede1952-photographs.pixels.com" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">swede1952-photographs.pixels.c</span><span class="invisible">om</span></a></p><p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/photo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>photo</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>photography</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/photographer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>photographer</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/photographylovers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>photographylovers</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nature</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/flower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>flower</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/chrysanthemum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>chrysanthemum</span></a></p>
