What can I say... they are pretty much irresistible. Especially seen though the camera lens.
I have this violet standing on my kitchen table. So I see it every day. It blooms few times a year and I am so used to see the flowers that I didn't even think of shooting it. It became more common and nothing with wow factor.
And then I moved it to a different spot and when the sun came out...
lets say I found the wow again!
All that sparkle and the glitter on the petals. It is just so amazing. The very common African Violet is a precious diamond now.
Look at that bubbly texture! You cannot feel it under your fingers or even see. The petals are just very thin and get bruised easily.
The colour on the photos came out a bit too pink. It is more pale red. Very unusual.
Now I just have to make sure my cat doesn't eat them. She tends to sneak around and bite off the flowers when they open.
The Violets must taste really good!

Thank you.
They are diamond-like. This one looks like a geode full of rubies in the macro.

Pity it's not as pricey :p
Some saudi prince probably has a ruby geode on his nightstand.

Sometimes the most beautiful things are the ones you see every day, and thus not really see anymore.
This flower looks so cool and you have taken beautiful photos of it. The macros are great 😊
Somehow it looks delicious too. As I know our cat, she would certainly want to taste it 😉
Very true :) And I used to shoot so man of my violets, that I somehow kept skipping this one. Cause it was always there.
Haaa your cat is a flower lover like mine? :P
That's what I meant, and so true 🙂
Our cat is a curious old guy - he tries everything, and when there are new flowers or plants in our apartment he will always try to taste it 😉
