Indeed, it looks like a very strange blue weeping maiden ... with a little fantasy and a glass of wine, of course ...

What a weird plant Janice! Blue colour is incredible, same as modern sculpture like shapes. It looks for me as Alien with one hand near its face, a sad Alien. Great and interesting capture, these hothouses must be great place to visit. I hope we'll meet there some day :-)

Well, to me it looks more like sad or anxious. I like the plant with all its wrinkles and yes – it looks very much like an old lady. Well seen Janice.

Curious indeed, and also very catchy colors and shape. Looks like a sculpture of multilple "hands" joining at the top. Very good soft light and a great composition, Janice.

Definally see the lady with her hand, that's what I thought I was looking at when I saw the thunmbnail. (Spooky blue woman) Great DOF, sharpness and colours. Excellent composition! :) TFS

Excellent and unusual capture, Janice!
I also see this figure with hands up toward the face area.
Any ideas as to its age?
Good detail, lighting, color and composition.
Well done and thank you for sharing it with us.

I like the strong expression of this cactus.
The color is unusual but very nice.
The green of the background fits well in this strong photo.


regards,

Zeno.

Very interesting shot. Thanks for posting

Beautiful, as are most succulents and cacti. The inward focused curves remind me of a mirliton or chayote (Sechium edule), as they both seem to be folding in on themselves. Wonderful DOF.

A most unusual plant, so interesting to see. Somewhat like us people, who knows why some of us turn out like we do, but someone always finds beauty in everyone, even when unusual. Sometimes the unusual is more interesting! Very nice, clear sharp photo Janice.

Hello Janice,

I see everything in it. At most a Lady, but also a Chinese dog. A great and strange photo. I like the frame that you used. It´s beautiful with this cactus composition. Regards and TFS BOB
