Centaurea americana is indeed a treasure among America's wildflowers. The common name for it, basket-flower, comes from the intricate structure at the base of the flower head. In this photograph the golden color of the lower part of the background (and the background is completely natural, I'll add, as in all my photographs) mimics the gold of the floral basket.
I've been involved with photography since the late 1960s, when I got my first real camera toward the end of my two years in Honduras as a Peace Corps math teacher. From the 1970s through the mid-1980s I went through a phase of black and white infrared photography, often even in 3-D. My current period began in 1999. Call me a nature photographer and you won't be wrong, but because there's not a lot of majestic scenery where I live (which is Austin, Texas), I've gotten interested in portraying the native plants of the region, especially our many wildflowers. Along with them come occasional butterflies, birds, and other small creatures. I often think of all these subjects, even the plants, as if they were posing for portraits, so you could...

excellent macro!
Steven Schwartzman replied:
I see that you're from Sydney. When I visited your area 10 years ago I was surprised to find lantana, a plant that's native in Texas, growing wild by the side of a path.
