The little I know about this plant is that it comes from a flame tree
that annually produces gorgeous orange flowers. However, I had never
noticed these fuzzy sprouts before...they are almost like dandelions at
this stage, except they eventually turn into a swirling ball resembling
cotton-candy and fall to the ground. I wish I could live up to your use
of the word "instructive", but I know so little. For me, the IR series
started out just playing with the camera. But through it, I've found
this new little world from which I continue to bring back things you
can't really see any other way.

The infra red series has some very interesting shots. This is one --
and leaves me asking how the strands are produced; do they pop out of
those nodules fully formed, or do they grow after popping out? The
point is that the photo is so instructive that it invites examination.
