A few days ago, while visiting a friend’s field, I found a very beautiful flower—Melastoma candidum flower. At first, I didn’t pay much attention, but the striking purple color of its petals immediately caught my attention. The shape of the flower is also unique, especially the bright yellow stamens that curve like brush strokes on a canvas.
This flower grows among the bushes on the edge of the field, as if trying to attract the attention of anyone passing by. Because the weather was good and the natural lighting that afternoon was perfect, I immediately decided to take a picture of it. Using a macro lens, I tried to capture every detail of this flower, including the still-closed buds next to the blooming flowers.
This experience made me realize again how much natural beauty is often overlooked. In fact, flowers like this are actually commonly found in the wild, but if we don’t take the time to observe, their beauty might be overlooked.
Through this post, I want to invite friends in the community to continue exploring and appreciating the small beauty around us. Who knows, beauty like this Melastoma candidum flower can provide new inspiration or simply brighten our day.
