Flowers...

I recently noticed that I'd been posting photos dominated by either only warm or cool color. So I decided to post these photos of flowers to spice up this photoblog a bit. :)  All photo were shot in super macro mode using Canon Powershot G6. Location is in Selesa Hillshome Resort, near Bukit Tinggi, Bentong, Pahang, MY.

Thanks.

These type of flower are generally called mossrose/sunplant. I believed the flower in the last photo is one of the variety from mossrose (scientific name portulaca).
