Platycodon Balloon Bud

Platycodon bud hangs near the lower center of the frame with a water droplet clinging to its stalk. The swollen blue bloom shows fine purple veins under soft, cool light, set against a blurred backdrop of foliage and warm tones. A small five-lobed white blossom sits blurred at the lower right and the droplet slightly magnifies the vein pattern.
