Flower from Rosmarinus officinalis (Lamiaceae), or rosemary. Penrith, Sydney.
The family Lamiaceae is probably my favourite because they’re easy to spot (flower spikes, woody shrubs) and the flowers themselves look just great. They have a bi-symmetry that reminds me of pea flowers. I’ve only photographed the pea family once so far, but there will be lots lots more of them in 2015.
