The corn was a pleasant surprise as I thought that I planted too late & would get no harvest. I did get some Jack-O'-Lantern shots but nothing macro of them. Given that I read Americans would spend 4.77 Billion on Halloween I think it's unfortunate that we 'celebrate' it here.

Anyway, the above photo of yours is the one that reminded me of Georgia O'Keefe. She was an American painter married to the famous photographer Alfred Stieglitz, and she did a lot of flower paintings with erotic overtones.

ok, a bit off topic because these are not my photos, not all plants, and they are microscopic. Still wonderful viewing.

those kinds of sites always have real treasure photos!!!! doesn't hurt that they have fancy cameras and super knowledge on how to use them

here is some motherwort i have germinating. figured i was taking too many flower shots. here we can see the fine root hairs when starting out. the seed, for scale, is just under 1mm long.
