Macroni

David and Goliath in the Greenhouse.

In case you couldn't see David in the first picture. Not really sure if an aphid would set off a venus fly trap or not, but he just seemed to be a bold little fellow. Update: I called this aphid a fellow, but it is almost certainly a female.

Pistils and stamens of a cactus flower. I thought the carpels looked like little hands.
Flies ?

Leaf morphology. Escargo Begonia.

The one leaf shot looks like a fractal.

I had to look hard for your "fellow", but wow...what great perspective! These are fantastic. You should work on a book of photos from the greenhouse.

James: funny you should mention fractals I was thinking 'Golden Rectangle' when I cropped the shot.

Bullbunky: Thanks and it helps that I am in a greenhouse almost every day :-)

...and what is this on CNN about the famed SF Parrots of Telegraph Hill?
