 An as yet unopened cactus flower in our front garden. Certainly a weird looking flower - I'm hoping to get a good photo of it when it blooms.

Whoa! That looks really neat & creepy all at the same time! Looks like one of those venus fly traps gone mad that could reach out, grab you & eat you like a bug! Very cool macro!!

That bud needs some serious nose hair clippers. What a strange looking plant!

That said - excellent macro with outstanding detail.
