Today, I took the time to observe flowers from the genus Eclipta, which grow wild around the rice fields in my village. This flower is small in size but quite eye-catching, especially with the white petals surrounding a yellow center.

I approached the flower slowly, paying attention to every detail visible through the macro lens. On the flower petals, there are several small insects that look busy collecting nectar. Moments like this are always interesting to me because they show the natural relationship between plants and insects that is invisible when viewed from a distance.

During this observation, I also found several leaves that had wilted and changed color around the flowers. It shows how the life cycle of these plants progresses over time, adding a natural feel that often goes unnoticed.
