Cosmos Bud or Martian Lander
Wednesday, September 20th, 2006
Warren, Connecticut. This bud contains a group of spectacular purple petals and the stamen sex organs of the cosmos flower and will open into something much larger than itself. Somehow this reminds me of the recent martian landers that land as a small pod and then unfold into complex machines with solar “petals.”
Another view of the same image.

Wonderful shot Richard.
