Flowers | Close-up cell phone photography session.

Greetings, friends of "Camping Club Steemit." Today I'm sharing 10 photos of five beautiful flowers I've photographed over the past few weeks. My selection was based on the majesty and color of each one. I took the opportunity to search on Google Lens to find out the names of each species.
Photo N° 1 Bellis perennis

| Did you notice the little ant in the first photo? The beautiful "daisy" (“margarita” in Spanish). It's famous because we often mention it when making difficult decisions. We use the saying "plucking the petals of a daisy." This is done by plucking petal by petal, one for "yes" and the other for "no." The last one remaining gives us the answer to the decision: whether to take it or not. I didn't know that the daisy is a distant relative of the sunflower, and that it also responds by opening or closing its petals to the light. See more |
Photo N° 2 Bangladeshi Dahlia

 |
| Dahlias are also very popular in pots and gardens. They are not only beautiful flowers, but also very elegant in their appearance. They grow quite tall and stay fresh for many days. This one caught my attention because some of its petals are a different color; it is a red flower with a white petal area. I discovered it is a variety from Bangladesh. The link shows many other varieties of this species. See more |
Photo N° 3 Echeveria secunda
 |
|---|
 |
| These flowers belong to a succulent plant called Echeveria secunda, which is easy to recognize by its disc-shaped leaves, similar to those of an artichoke. When it flowers, it sends out a peduncle that rises, and at the end these flowers with fleshy petals open in a line and come in a spectacular combination of colors: yellow, orange, red, and I've also seen pink. In the photo below, you can see the detail of one of these peduncles, which is beginning to rise, with the immature buds. See more |
Photo N° 4 Zinnia

| Zinnia is another all-rounder that adapts easily to any terrain and climate. There are simple varieties with petals arranged around a disc. But there are also those with compound petals, which have several layers of petals stacked on top of each other. I loved these shots, as they highlight their beauty both individually and in groups.

Photo N° 5 Chamaecrista glandulosa
 |
|---|
 |
| This is a rare flower, its petals have acquired the shape of a bud or like a little house that protects the stamens and pistils, and it also helps insects to be forced to stay inside the flower for a long time. This species likes slopes and rocky soils, here in my town it grows a lot, it is almost considered a weed, since it grows anywhere. See more |
See you soon
