Limonium sinuatum, commonly known as wavyleaf sea lavender, statice, sea lavender, notch leaf marsh rosemary, sea pink, is a Mediterranean plant species in the family Plumbaginaceae known for its papery flowers that can be used in dried arrangements.

I've been practicing my flower closeups in anticipation of being in the western North Carolina mountains next week. This was made in my home garden. Fuji GFX100s, 120mm macro lens.

I like the purple blooms with the small white parts interspersed. At first I thought they were a different plant but after looking this plant up realized this is what this bloom looks like. Will the white parts come out of each blossom or just interspersed as we see it here?

Fascinating plant and a nice image of the bloom.

This is it, Alan. The contrasting white is just a few. There are other color combos as well.

This is one of my favorite flowers, Jeffrey. I'll bet you're excited about shooting flowers in the Mountains.
