  Exquisite detail. And – yes – it really does remind me of an explosion of fireworks!

  Love the bright color against the black background. I had to look up ” Leucospermum cordifolium” to figure out what this was!

  I thought it was a plant growing in the sea but this is not the case. Beautiful on this dark background.

  What a beautiful still life you have captured, The plant has so many
  intricacies that make it so fascinating to look at, so very complex and
  yet beautifully presented in its simple but gorgeous state.
