Let's play..name that image. I call it.. "What's that smell" The individual flowers are smaller then a pencel eraser. They are growing wild..does anyone know their name?
Thanks,Carolyn

It looks alot like milkweed flowers. An image with the whole plant with leaves and an in focus side view of the flower would remove the guess work.

If the entire cluster was sharp on an OOF background, I'd suggest "Floral Fireworks," but I'm at a loss with the really nice shallow DOF you have here.

Great shot. Sorry I can't help with the naming.

Hello,
The flower looks like it's from the genus Asclepias. Members of the genus Asclepias and commonly called Milkweed. The whiter flower leads me to believe that it is desert milkweed (Asclepias erosa) or Asclepias viridis... I don't know the common name.

One more guess: Asclepias subverticillata aka horse-tail milkweed... the shape of the leaves will help with the ID here.

cheers,
bruce
