I was at Friendly Shopping Center last week and saw several large containers with different kinds of flowers. Since Capsicum is "Herb of the Year 2016" I saw an ornamental one with 3 different colors of small peppers. It had some blossoms which are very small and usually hang down. On the right I tried to take a macro image of it. The actual size of this white blossom was about 3/8". If you see the purple ornamental peppers, their blossoms can be purple around the edge. I did not have a tripod with me and so a macro image can be difficult to photograph. especially with an iPhone. I did not try to use the self timer or the volume control button to capture the image. There is definitely digital noise present which I could not really decrease in PSE 11. I did try to use clarify filter to bring out more texture in the blossom but I think it also gave it a more painterly effect I did label the blossom using the text tool in PSE 11. It was about noon and the subjects were in bright sun. Maybe sometime I can capture when overcast or late afternoon. Ornamental peppers can be eaten but they may not have the flavor of jalapeno, serrano. Some like NuMex can be as hot as a habenaro. They definitely add an element of color to your garden.
