12Jan06 Pentaculum - 9742

Photo a Day, Day 288...Loving the macro lens! Noticed this afternoon that my shamrock plant was blooming... After taking the shot I found it fascinating the series of fives. Five petals, 5 little yellow/brown pollen parts, 5 brown specks in the back, 5 green lines in each of the white petals.... so "little five"

Edit - I didn't like the brownish background so I used a masked Levels layer to darken the background.
