Close-up focus on the multicoloured and patterned lip of a phalaenopsis orchid. The white column pokes out above, and the deep wine and magenta galaxy patterned sepal and petals are partially visible above. The backs of yellow petals with wine speckled and hot pink edges are bokeh below in the background, with the green stem curving off frame to the right.

Close-up of the opening stage of the poppy flower. The petals partially exposed as the hairy calyx (bud case) is splitting open. The flower is in the process of unfurling from its bud state into a full bloom.
