Ok, probably this isn't the best one but I wanted to share what the plant looks like that "The Bell" comes from. All those little balls are what they call 'plantlets' and they drop and make more plants. Next time it blooms, hopefully we can get the whole thing. It's really quite unusual.

Interesting view here. A nice study of the flowers I think.

Anita, this is one of the weirdest plants I've ever seen. Good capture of a most unusual natural beauty. Thanks for sharing it with us! - Patty

It has kind of a cacti look about it and also a very exotic look . It definitely has such pretty flowers on it though from your previous post. Nice capture Anita.

I quite like this........it kind of reminds me of a scene out of peter Benchley's "The beast".....For some strange reason..lol. Don't ask me why, it must be my warped sense of humour.

wow this is wierd looking, almost looks like an octopus! i love the focus in this shot, how the middle is most on focus. if it wouldnt have been for that i dont think i would have noticed the ring of "parts" there is so much detail, and i love the colors in the background. really a great capture! ~abby

Very cool plant! It reminds me of squid or octopus tentacles. I've never seen anything like it. Great clarity and I love the muted purple-green colors. Good job!

Quite an interesting composition of your subject, Anita. I think it needs a bit more light to really bring out the color and detail. It's on the flat side. The detail of the little flowers are like little mouths waiting to be fed. Crazy. Nice shot. anne :-)

Don't tell me it's good, tell me what is good about it. Don't tell me it stinks, tell me what I can do do improve it. Thank you for taking the time to tell me anything at all. Be blessed. anne :-)
