KIWI BUD

This is a Kiwi bud, just opening up ready to show its flower. Nature will turn this beautiful bud into a Kiwi fruit.

Excellent macro, I didn't know what a kiwi bud looked like. Thanks for sharing.

Great details! I love the pattern of veins and the great colors!

We all earned something today - thanks Tony. Its like a tennis ball trapped by a carniverous plant with orange fuzz. Unbelievable colours and superb photo.

Great photo, and very interesting. I have never seen a kiwi bud. At first glance I thought this was a baby Seymour, the man-eating plant. ;0)
