Here is a macro photo of the pincushion flowers that are generally part of the ring of flowers, which I have previously posted.The flowers are tiny and delicate. You can see the pollen on the flower petals.

Shot this way, it looks as if the flowers have been woven into a basket of thorns. Nice one, Julie.
ReplyDeleteThis photo is even more impressive when one considers that it takes about four of these flowers to cover a space the size of a dime.
ReplyDeleteAmazing something so prickly produces something so pretty. Nice capture.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot but isn't it scary when flowers surround themselves with hypodermic needles?

I love these tiny little flowers that make a sort of ring around the cactus. When in full bloom, the cactus looks like it has a crown on!
ReplyDeleteVery good shot. I like macro photos very much. Good work!
ReplyDeletePincushion Cactus is a good name for this one. Great shot of these tiny little flowers.
ReplyDeleteMine have all bloomed now.
