In the light: From the golden Tragopogon (with Bordeaux red background) by Marjolijn van den Berg

"In the light: From the golden Tragopogon (with Bordeaux red background)" a photo was taken of a Tragopogon (in Dutch, this plant/flower is also called Morgenster). The warm gold-coloured fluff that partly glows in the light falling on the Tragopogon makes its fluffy leaves appear beautifully warm in colour. The background of this picture is burgundy, which colours well with the golden fluff.
Like the dandelion, a Tragopogon (also known as Morgenster) is a member of the Composite family (Asteraceae). When the flower of the Morning Star has finished flowering, it turns into a large ball of fluff, just like a Dandelion. The fluff of a Morning Star is only different from that of a Dandelion. On the stalk with the seed is a kind of cobweb-like fluff. If you zoom in on the photo, you can see this clearly. You can then also clearly see that I chose a shallow depth of field when taking this picture to create a sense of depth in the work and thus also create a somewhat dreamy atmosphere.
For example, this work could hang beautifully as a wall decoration in the bedroom, dining room or simply above the sofa! Also beautiful in business locations such as on the wall in a meeting room, office, waiting room or practice room!
