Beautiful capture of this musk thistle with its radiating bracts that protect the flower! As the flower blooms, the bracts will invert to reveal its beauty.
It truly is beautiful and yet again that has that black background which makes it jump out of the picture then it looks so real like I could reach in and touch it
OHHhhhh!!! It is GORGEOUS!!! I have never seen one like this either.
ReplyDeleteIt's like a cactus and a daisy fused together! This is out of this world beautiful dearest Rose!
