No, this is not monochrome. Straight out of camera.

This is where I cut the leaf. What is this helical structure called?

Very nice images !

The last one reminds me some painting. I like taking photographs of the plant vessels, both in transversal and longitudinal sections. Some of them very often look extremaly interesting.
