Hello,
I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction in finding non copyrighted flower images. I'm looking for 3, 5, and 9 petaled flowers? Thanks Ben |

Thanks Ben 3 and 5 petalled flowers occur widely in Nature, but I don't know of any flowers which have 9 petals - you'd be looking for a semi-double which by chance had 9 petals. Flowering plants probably started off with flowers with floral parts in whorls of threes. That's still the case for some lineages, so it would be just a matter of finding one with three whorls of petaloid organs. You could probably find a Magnolia with 9 petals. Drimys winteri has a variable number of petals, but 9 is within its range. However nearer to home Ficaria verna syn Ranunculus ficaria (lesser celandine) also has a variable number of petals, with a range including 9. You could also find Lewisias with 9 petals, and perhaps cacti and water lilies, as well as assorted magnoliids. -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |

But if Ben's less confident in his own photography, there may be something useful among the copyright-free images at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Commons There may well be other public-domain collections on the Net, but I don't actually know. -- Mike. |
