Achillea filipendulina

About this work

This close-up shows a cluster of small, fuzzy flowers with jagged edges. The petals are light against a dark, almost black background. The texture looks rough, like tiny spikes or hairs covering each bloom. The artist used a printing method called photogravure, which lets you see fine details. This style was popular for scientific and botanical studies. Next, check out Blossfeldt, Karl to see more of his plant photography.
