When you buy a bouquet of flowers you have mostly lots of different kind of flowers. Some of them are the main flowers, like roses or tulips, which draw all the attention. Others parts are leaves or little flowers which give the bouquet volume. One of them is very white, has only around half a centimeter diameter and looks like a little knob with micro holes. I don't know its name unfortunately.
A few weeks ago I decided to use such of flower to test my macro lens. I came extremely close with my lens, so this flower was partly inside my lens cap. What was looking like a textured knob is in fact a collection of hundred or even thousands of little micro flowers. Amazing!

UPDATE: In the flower shop they told me that it is called: matricaria, I hope this helps.


TECH-INFO: I used indirect day light which is shining on the right top side of the flower. At the left side I used some paper to bounce back the light. My camera was on a tripod. Focusing was done manually. In Photoshop I enhanced the contrast, clarity and yellow color. So no big changes.
