Cropped macro

This is the very center of the weird flower commonly called the sheriff's star or the starfish flower, officially called Stapelia grandiflora.
This was shot with a macro lens and cropped.

I assumed it was an aquatic animal at first glance. Such odd colours and textures. Kudos!

@existentialdread thank you. I guess that is why once of three names is starfish flower.
