@Shahab: I hadn't looked at this plant in that way, but now you mention it ...... Mars perhaps?

Wonderfu shot!! I like how you framed this one with the background the way it is.

What a neat looking plant. Nicely done.

@Laurie: Thank you. It did come up well in the photo. In actual fact it was a rather pathetic, struggling half-dead affair.

Yet life seems to spring eternal from the delicate ends, despite the hardship. Though the composition differs, the message seems very O'Keeffe.
