“Water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing, in the end, can stand against it. Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone.”
Margaret Atwood
Another example of nature's abstract art in miniature
View in lightbox, on full screen and from a distance for a 3D effect.
A very close-up view of a rainbow plant flower cluster (from the inside looking out) showing its satellite-road-map-looking structure with light mauve smoke clouds in the distance.
From a certain distance, they look very much like colourful, three-dimensional cobwebs and, when viewed from a greater distance, look more like smoke clouds (see note) which could be why these shrubs are often referred to as smoke bushes. The botanical name, by the way, is "Cotinus coggygria". This particular variety is known as ‘Royal Purple’.
Take care and many thanks for calling,
