Couldn’t resist getting down low for this one. They are the flowers of “hens & chicks”, a succulent. This is the first year that they are really pretty.

I didn't realize they actually bloomed. What a great shot and I'm glad you sent this along...learning all the time :)

Wow, the flowers are really pretty and this shot is so clear. I didn't even realize that they did bloom.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

I had not heard of these plants until someone here at Caedes posted a photograph! ...I just keep looking for hens and chickens! lol! ..a very good photograph Joe - I particularly like the in focus flowers at the top fading to out of focus at the bottom! It creates a nice effect!

I very much like the effect your depth of field has on this one, Ironjoe -- and the softness of th light on the sharp-tipped flowers! Excellent work.

Never seen these in bloom either. I agree with fogz on the focus, and I like the colours and clarity as well.
