The next generation

Two recent stacks regarding the production of seeds. The desert rose (Adenium obeusum) is best know for its flowers.

The small cactus, Mammillaria prolifera, gets its name from the numerous heads it produces, although I am not convinced it shouldn't be for the numerous seedpods it produces.

Hope you enjoy.

Very nice Irwin! After blooming they stay attractive in another way.

Artistically pleasing compositions - both images. Beautiful colour and movement in pic1. Well done!

Thank you, Nikola.

Like youself I am amazed at nature's wonders. It seems the more you look, the more treasures you find.

Thank you for noticing, Bruce.

In composing my images, the first thing I look for is movement.

Take care.

Nice images. I just returned from Yuma, AZ and wished I had time to take images of the cacti and desert scenes, but that did not happen
