White Flowers


[Photo By: KPA]

I tried to find the name of these tiny white roses, which grow on a small tree, almost a bush. There is a cluster of five or six per stem. They have a delicate rose scent, and the larger ones have edges which have turned slightly pink, although that could be due to age. The leaves are much larger than the flowers, and act as a backdrop to these clusters of tiny roses.

I was taking the photograph as a gust of wind started to blow. I waited for a reprieve, which came, but didn't last long. I had to, at some point, just take the shot. The slightly out-of-focus effect is really the movement of the bush caused by the wind, not my camera technique! (notice that the flowers on the top, thick branch are in focus). But I like the impressionistic effect.
