Project 365 - Day Three Hundred And Eighteen

On day three hundred and eighteen I went (amongst other things) for a wander in my mum's yard just as the sun was setting. I discovered these beautiful purple and white flowers growing in a pot near the door. Such a lovely little find.

Instead of taking a photo of the entire flower I decided to get as close as I could possibly get (thanks to my macro lens) and see if I could come up with a more interesting photo. I don't know if you can see it that well in the above photo but the flower has a fine, hair-like coating (?). It's kind of amazing to look at the photo at 100%. Ahhh... I do so love macro!
