Thank you Kya! I use a Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ40 point & shoot with a Raynox DCR 250 clip on macro converter.

Nice flower! What's the model of camera and lens you used. I want to buy a professional camera too.

Thanks Cindy! I did take a photo but when I downloaded I realized the leaves in it were buttercups so I didn't put it up as it would have been confusing. I'm pretty sure this is flax. Flax is spectacular when grown as a crop - I can remember seeing whole fields of bright blue as a child.

Beautiful! Do you have a shot of the leaves? This image alone makes me think of Blue Flax, Linum sp.
