Pincushion Passenger  by cdonohoue

Pincushion Passenger

I went to my favorite nursery yesterday. One of my favorite places to find the reset button. I also found quite a few new plants that were calling me. This pincushion flower has such a lovely, willowy flower - and this fly obviously thinks so, too. He is really quite tiny - I barely knew he was there when I was trying to photograph the only flower that was in the sun yet.
I should have invited you to view it large!

It's the wings that always fascinate me in close-ups like this. They remind me of leaded glass.
