"Simplicity: Portrait of a flower of the Ball Thistle (Echinops)" is a macro photo of a beautiful flower of a ball thistle. The bullet thistle, like a Tragopogon and a Dandelion, belongs to the Asteraceae (or also called the Composite family). Like the Dandelion, after flowering the flower turns into fuzz, which ensures that the seeds can be carried with the wind.
The Bull Thistle looks like a simple bulb, but if you zoom in on the work you will see that jet is made up of all sorts of tiny flowers. These are not yet open on this Ball Thistle, so it looks beautiful as spikes on the bulb. The taupe / beige coloured background gives it a calm and natural feel: a rural atmosphere.
Beautiful for, for example, above your bed in the bedroom, in the dining room or as wall decoration in the meeting room or waiting room (business).
