Nature's Beauty: Wild Thickheads | 10% to shy-fox
I found these wild thickheads when I was walking around meadow hill, looking for possible subjects to be captured. They belong to the Asteraceae, in the genus Crassocephalum. They distribute throughout many tropical and subtropical regions, and Indonesia is one of their best home to grow. In the family Asteraceae, the flower heads are compressed, so to speak, into a ‘flat surface’, the receptacle, on which a large number of small flowers are placed and considered as common flower that normally grow in the bushes. These thickhead which is also called ebolo, redflower ragleaf, or fireweed flowers were taken with DSLR from distance range.
As I indeed love nature I tried my best to bring up its beauty to the surface. This typical wild plant is considereed perennial plants that used to be found in the meadow, bushes and shrublands. As I indeed love nature I tried my best to bring up its beauty to the surface.
This is also considered for having much appreciated for their special flavor, which is sharp but not bitter. In another group of Asteraceae, the petals are fused into a tube, often with one or a few rows of ray florets at the edge of the flower head, as in the sunflower.
