La nature est assez suprenante dans ses textures et ses ressemblances. Les filaments de cette asclépiade ressemblent à une mèche de cheveux.
Nature is quite surprising range in its textures and similarities. The filaments of the milkweed looks like a lock of hair.

Looking up at a light fixture outside my house a very close up macro of the inside of a light bulb in the fixture. The cloudy stuff is the dirt on the bulb and how the light interacts with it.
See it large on my blog.
Wow! This just hit my highest explore position ever thanks everyone!
The Crescent Nebula, also known as NGC 6888, is a striking emission nebula located in the constellation Cygnus. It is the remnant of a star that exploded as a supernova, leaving behind a glowing shell of gas and dust. This nebula is shaped like a crescent due to the interaction of stellar winds from a massive star, WR 136, which continues to shape the nebula’s expanding structure.
When imaged through narrowband filters, the Crescent Nebula reveals stunning details of its complex structure through specific wavelengths of light. Using filters that isolate emission from elements like hydrogen (Ha), oxygen (OIII), and sulfur (SII), the nebula’s intricate shell of gas and dust becomes visible. The hydrogen emission creates a deep red hue, while the oxygen and sulfur emissions give off blue and green colors, respectively, creating a striking contrast. Narrowband imaging enhances the visibility of the nebula’s delicate filaments and intricate structures, allowing astronomers to study the remnants of the star that gave rise to this cosmic wonder. The result is an awe-inspiring portrait of stellar evolution.
To form a color image I utilized the Ha filter to map the red color and the OIII filter to map the green and blue. Total exposure time of 12 hours.
This week the Sun featured a very long filament that stretched at least half way across the Sun (Oct. 20-22, 2015). Filaments are elongated clouds of plasma that are tethered above the Sun by magnetic forces. They are often unstable and usually break apart in less than a week, though they can last longer than that. Filaments are darker than most of the SunÕs surface when viewed in extreme ultraviolet light, as it is here. Credit: Solar Dynamics Observatory, NASA.
These are modern bulbs with an old filament style.
This i an LED so super efficient. Edison would be proud

There it was... parachute like with long purple filaments dotted with tiny drops of water. And the flower is one foot across!
And here I was, with my camera around my neck, groping around in the steamy hot Rare Plant House searching for a metal tag to identify this amazing flower extravaganza! And, it was Dog Day so I had my pup Honey watching me, tipping her head to the right and the left curious.
The flowers are black to purplish white, nodding on long pedicels, 2 bracts broadly ovate and winglike, 2 smaller bracts perpendicular to the others, black, greenish or reddish. Bracteoles threadlike, 6 - 8 inches long. Leaves basal, lanceolate, glossy dark green blade tapering down the petiole.
The genus Tacca, which includes the Bat flowers and Arrowroot, consists of ten species of flowering plants in the order Dioscoreales, native to tropical regions of Africa, Australia, and south-eastern Asia. In older texts, the genus was treated in its own family Taccaceae, but the 2003 APG II system incorporates it into the family Dioscoreaceae. Taccaceae is native to Malaysia.

Calliandra surinamensis is a low branching evergreen tropical shrub that's named after Suriname, a country in Northern South America. The plant usually has complexly branched multiple trunks and grows to a height of about 5 meters, although many sources suggest that it only attains a height of 3 meters. Left unpruned it grows long thin branches that eventually droop down onto the ground.

A dark, solar filament above the Sun's surface became unstable and erupted, which generated a cascade of magnetic arches (Dec. 16-17, 2015). A small eruption to the upper right likely caused the filament's collapse. The action, observed in extreme ultraviolet light, covered about a 28-hour period. The magnetic arches are charged particles spinning along magnetic field lines that are reorganizing themselves after the event. Credit: Solar Dynamics Observatory, NASA.
The Sun sported a very long filament (over 30 times the size of Earth) that angled diagonally across its surface for over a week (July 31 - Aug. 6, 2014). Filaments are clouds of cooler gas suspended above the Sun's surface by magnetic forces. They are notoriously unstable and often break apart in just hours or days. So far, this one has held together as it rotated along with the Sun for over a week. The images were taken in the 193 Angstrom wavelength of extreme ultraviolet light and were tinted red instead of its usual brown hue. Credit: Solar Dynamics Observatory/NASA.
Cygnus is such a beautiful constellation, it is a neverending source of deep sky objects, whatever your focal length or experience level is.
this time it is the filament nebula, containing also the witches broom on top of the image. to me it seemed every minute of extra exposure time added more filaments to it, maybe i could have done even more time (well, enough is never enough :)), though i had to dismiss approx 4 hours of data due to occasional thin clouds.

The flower has been given names related to this symbolism throughout Europe since that time. In Spain, it is known as espina de Cristo ("thorn of Christ'"). Older Germanic names include Christus-Krone ("Christ's crown"), Christus-Strauss ("Christ's bouquet"), Dorn-Krone ("crown of thorns"), Jesus-Lijden ("Jesus' passion"), Marter ("passion") or Muttergottes-Stern ("Mother of God's star").
Outside the Christian heartland, the regularly shaped flowers have reminded people of the face of a clock. In Israel they are known as "clock-flower" (שעונית) and in Greece as "clock plant" (ρολογιά); in Japan too, they are known as tokeisō (時計草, "clock plant"). In Hawaiian, they are called lilikoʻi; lī is a string used for tying fabric together, such as a shoelace, and liko means "to spring forth leaves".
In India, blue passionflowers are called Krishnakamala in Karnataka and Maharashtra, while in Uttar Pradesh and generally north it is colloquially called "Paanch Paandav" (referring to the five Pandavas in the Hindu epic, the Mahabharata). The five anthers are interpreted as the five Pandavas, the divine Krishna is at the centre, and the radial filaments are opposing hundred. The colour blue is moreover associated with Krishna as the colour of his aura.

In northern Peru and Bolivia, the banana passionfruits are known as tumbos. This is one possible source of the name of the Tumbes region of Peru.
In Turkey, the shape of the flowers have reminded people of Rota Fortunae, thus it called Çarkıfelek.

A delicate plume rises like a feather touched by light, where every filament seems to breathe in silence.
The subtle shades of violet and white blend into a dreamy softness, while the background dissolves into a symphony of colors and emotions.
It is a simple subject, yet full of poetry — a reminder that beauty often whispers rather than shouts.
