Chinese New Year Blooms

2008.02.07
These little white flowers come on a thin long stick. The diameter of these delicate flower measures around 3mm!

It was fun to try these macro shots. The front of the lens is literally 2 cm away from the flower!

I absolutely love the color of this bunch!




Today is the first day of the Year of the Rat. A fresh begining for a great year ahead. These flowers are from the flower market close to home and because of the cold in the past couple of week, I've had these for around a week now. Considering how fresh cut flowers keep in Hong Kong, having them still so beautiful is an amazing thing!

Does anyone know what flowers they are?
