Ice Plant Flower

These are closeup macros shot with a reversed 50mm lens on a Point and Shoot camera of a single ice plant flower in Lincoln Park. Ice plants are known for their brilliant color and their ability to attract bees. But I would not have guessed that the pistols were so wild inside it. Also, the octopus like inner structure is quite amazing. Of course, on a spring day there are bits of pollen littered everywhere either from the wind or an errant bee.
