Red Helenium in Selective Colours - Desaturated Trailer Hitch Cover

This lovely red helenium, sometimes known as sneezeweed, looks cheery in a selective colour treatment that isolates red tones. The rest has subtle colour with mostly black-and-white tones, which emphasizes these beautiful, vivid flowers. The full Latin name of the Helenium autumnale is tied to Helen of Troy, although the plants are native to the Americas. The Helenium is a member of the same family as coneflowers, cosmos, and sunflowers, which is the Asteraceae family. This helenium was growing in a beautiful stand of red, yellow, and purple flowers in a lovely botanical garden, and the image is based on an original photo with artistic effects applied.
