This is a lovely image of a South African Stapeliad – best viewed large (click here for the larger version) where you can get a good view of the delicate way the petals come together in the center, creating a balloon like effect.

Something to consider when you make your next artful flower…

    That flower looks like it were sprinkled with salt crystals… good enough to eat… or sculpt!
