Oh yeah, some kind of little green fly too. :)
really cool picture, love the colors and you blended your butterflys in reallly nice, didn't see them right away - but then again, I've been up all night... I've been doing that alot lately.
That little green fly had to get in on the shot, you & your daughter in law did great here. Its an unusual cactus. Hope your weekend is good. xxxx
Did you notice the SMELL? Rotting flesh.. that's how it attracts flies to pollinate it!
This is beautiful!!
WOWWW BEAUTY
this you dont see everyday for sure. have a nice weekend.
Wonderful photo
wonderful image!!
belle etoile!!
This really is a fantastic capture, way to go Cheryl
You both did a super job here. My congratulations! Even down to the little fly...I wonder if he survived.
Marvelous capture of a unique plant!
Definitely something you don't see every day nice image and P/W
This is an amazing bloom. Wonderful*****
That is way too pretty to be so smelly. Great shot Crystal, When are you opening your gallery here. Awesome post work Cheryl.
WOW! HOW BEAUTIFUL!
very beautiful flower
A very unusual cactus and your p/w makes a great picture of it.
This is seriously cool, Cheryl! It does look like a starfish. Crystal did a excellent job capturing it, and got all those maze light stripes in wonderful detail. Great postwork! I like the pointed designs you added to the background and the butterflies. Great job you two!
I never even knew such a cactus existed. Fantastic capture.
Cool shot!
Just a little bottle fly to help the cactus with it's pollination. We always called them bottle flies becuase the green color is like those green glass bottles .. don't know if that's the right name for it or not. Nice work on both your parts!
flowers are amazing ! lovely shot
