#2 in series Bee Balm opening further IMG_7849 fused
More adventures with Reverse Lens Macro.
This is a series illustrating what happens when a Scarlet Bee Balm blossom decides to open.
First (seen in comments) there is a little bud with alien spiky things coming out.
Then (seen as the main photo) the spiky things come thrusting out and begin to look positively reptilian. Or maybe something from the octopus family?
Then each spiky thing puts forth a single blossom (seen as the second photo in comments).
The entire flower (seen as the last photo in comments) is about 2.5 inches across (that's 6.35 cm).
