Macro - Flower Stamen

I don't usually take pics of petunias as I think of them as plain. But this summer, I have taken several close ups of their middles.  Here's the pollen loaded stamen in the center of a white petunia.  It's interesting how creamy colored the stamen are and the veins in the petals are quite green.

Inside a Petunia

Petunias are not flowers I would normally photograph.  They are plentiful and come in a large number of colors.  This morning I decided to see what I could do if I got really close.  They have interesting inside bits.  I liked to color of this one and the focus was good.  There are a few dirt particles but that comes with the territory when outside.  I did crop the image to move the focal point off center.
