Velvet Fire

This is a close-up of a Johnny Jump-up, a species of violet also known as a wild pansy. The flower is burgundy, with five petals—though one is partly hidden behind the others. The petals are layered: a single top petal faces downward and slightly to the left; beneath it are two side petals, one on each side. Between them, a fourth petal straddles the gap, and tucked behind that, peeking out to the left, is the fifth. The top three petals shift in color near the center, forming a subtle ring: yellow on the uppermost petal, and white on the two just below. At the heart of it all sits a short stigma, delicately colored in yellow and red.

I don't always take great photographs, but when I do, you can find them at:

Thaks Kat! Interestingly, I actually wrote it as an ALT Text a few years ago. I've been reposting some of my older images, at least the ones that I've posted on my pixel's gallery. Now days I use Copilot to do the ALT Text, to save time.

@Swede1952@universeodon.com Wow! Did you write that alt text? I could actually imagine that flower!

@dandylover1@someplace.social

I wish that I could take credit for that but I usually use Copilot, Microsoft’s AI app to write the ALT text as I did in this case.
