Photographer's Note
Name : Baobab flower of the tree andansonia digitata
Adansonia digitata (Baobab, Afrikaans: Kremetart, Sotho: Seboi, Tswana: Mowana, Tsonga: Shimuwu, Venda: Muvhuyu) is the most widespread of the Adansonia species on the African continent, found in the hot, dry savannahs of sub-Saharan Africa. It also grows, having spread secondary to cultivation, in populated areas. English common names for the Baobab include dead-rat tree (from the appearance of the fruits), monkey-bread tree (the soft, dry fruit is edible), upside-down tree (the sparse branches resemble roots) and cream of tartar tree.

Hello Arun,it was a good idea to get in close to the flower and to show all of it`s very nice details.
As the subject is so pale you did very well to get the exposure levels as well as you have.
It is also nice to see the BG environment,a lovely Natural History study.Well done.
Best regards Les.
