Tiny Dancer

I have no idea what this tiny object might be - I found it in my garden a few weeks ago and carefully saved it. It's clearly the skeletal remains of some sort of flower part, possibly the remains of sepals from a rose flower - the petals would not have been so tough. I do have roses in my garden but I have never seen such a thing before.

 

For Macro Mondays theme 'Dried'. The Tiny Dancer is 2.8 cm across at its widest and the image has been cropped to be within the MM size limit.

 

The image was done as a five-shot focus stack.

 

Any fans of early Elton John will likely recognise the title - my apologies for any ear worms!
