This is the part of the coneflower holding myriad disc florets. Collectively it is called the disk or capitulum. The disc florets are the fertile reproductive parts - pistil and stamens which will form the seeds. The few yellow parts in the image are the anthers of the flower. And you did not even know the question, did you? Well, now you've seen the naughty bits of the purple coneflower. Happy?
interesting effect from autostitch with this one, the cups spin in the breeze so the bits moved between shots used in the stitch, which created some interesting ghosting and some disjointed arms which (for a nice change) add to the impact of a stitched imaged rather than make it an instant failure...
at least.. thats what i think.
some more conventional shots of this thing are next in my stream.

Go ahead and switch on the power to your life. Look back just long enough to remember what you treasure most, then go ahead and expand upon those treasures. When you feel an excuse coming on, crush it under the weight of your desire to move forward.
Lets fully feel the white-hot energy and marvelous uniqueness of being you. Let your own special beauty explode into every corner of life.
Explode with the joy and the wonder of being yourself.

Think we can build something like this today? Attention to detail would cause accounting departments to explode.

Beautifully quiet and peaceful at Islandhill this morning.....although it was broken by hundreds of Brent Geese honking merrily as they crossed the causeway. Enjoyed this in the company of Paul Devenney from Belfast and then bumped into Glenn Boyd up at the carpark :)
Mural by Gary Simmons aka @garysimmonsstudio for his exhibition, "Gary Simmons: Public Enemy," at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, Illinois.
The MCA states "Since the late 1980s Simmons has played a key role in situating questions of race, class, and gender identity at the center of contemporary art discourse. Notable for his early application of conceptual artistic strategies, Simmons exposes and analyzes histories of racism inscribed in US visual culture. Over the course of his career, Simmons has revealed traces of these histories in the fields of sports, cinema, literature, music, and architecture and urbanism, while drawing heavily on popular genres such as hip-hop, horror, and science fiction. Guided by an internal logic, his approach is cool, analytical, and unflinching in its interrogation of intense historical narratives, yet the results consistently deliver a strong emotional charge."
