For those who haven't seen one this is a coconut blossom. So tiny so delicate

I have not seen a coconut blossom, but find you photo interesting, nice one.....

Nice macro pic.

[JBW]

they certainly don't look anything like a coconut.

Nice macro pic.

it would have been helped with a little more light. sadly i was rather clumsy and after this shot I knocked the leaf and the blossom fell.

At least you knocked the leaf after taking the shot. I too would have expected something large and gaudy. Nice capture of a difficult one.

I have on occasion saved myself the bother of actually taking the shot by knocking things off first.

my guess would be that there are few coconut trees in Turkey?

[deetheturk]

I have never seen any B, but then I have never looked for any

Photography as a tool of education. Lovely.

I am indeed educated Brian, thank you.

Is that where it grows (on the leaf)?
Or had it already fallen from somewhere else?

Good shot, although as you say, lack of light was a problem.

it grows at the top of the coconut. Over here the coconut tree is called 'the tree of life'. Food, shelter, wine, sugar, roofing, brooms, candy, the list of uses is long.
