The Blossoming of the Holodiscus discolor Flowers.

The individual flowers go from yellowish spheres to white flowers when fully open. This inflorescence stands out from the background because of using a flash to take the photo. The cluster was moving in the wind and to keep things in focus a higher shutter speed was needed. The black background was not entirely planned. Each individual flower can have up to 20 stamens giving the flower a star like appearance when viewed up close.
