  1. This is stunning - it looks kaleidoscopic, than which there is no greater praise (from me). Nature has so many interesting and beautiful ways to propogate...

  2. Yes, this is a photo that belongs both in botany books (a picture worth a thousand words) and in art books for its sheer beauty. And, as usual, though a good camera and lens are required it is the eye and mind of the photographer that are its precondition. One of your greatest close-up images, IMO.
