Mystery Plant

I took a picture of this one a while ago - when I did a collage. And I keep coming back to it - there is something special and magical about it. No idea what it is, but I like how it looks!

I can see why you keep coming back to it! Lovely color and softness. Nice lighting, focus, detail and DOF. Very pretty, Vera.

[Vera]

Awwww thank you, Susan! @susanalena I also like the symmetry of it and how the layers keep hiding behind each other. I am glad you enjoyed it as well!

I like the 3D effect created by your shallow depth of field.

[Mary]

For me its all the different layers and shapes of the petals. Also like the creamy flower with just the hint of pink on the edges!

[Melissa]

Beautiful!

[Diana Chaplin]

Nature is so amazing, great shot!

[Hazel]

Beautifully captured. Would love to identify it.....

[Bep]

You did need to take the picture of this unusual and beautiful plant from above! Can see the design of it so much better! fav

[Sue]

What a wonderful plant and a great viewpoint, showing off its lovely structure and the amazing purple rims to the petals (or are they leaves?)

[Vera]

Thank you all so much! I really don't know if these qualify as petals or leaves, but I think I saw what might be the same plant today on the trending page as well! Here it is: http://365project.org/candia/365/2015-06-14 Maybe someone would know it seen from the different perspective.

a mystery plant but a very beautiful composition vera

I checked it out with my plant expert friend and it is Clary Sage (Salvia Sclera). Apparently has healing properties. C.
