This little guy landed next to me while I was working on my computer. Let me take a few shots and then took off.
A leaf lying in the grass. Taken late at night with a Windows Phone, while lying in the grass holding the phone in one hand and a torch (illuminating the leaf) in the other.
Unedited (straight from the phone) except for a crop.
Thank you to my boyfriend who let me borrow his camera for this shot.
I liked the way the light was shining through these leaves and the colours on them.

Cyanea crispa in the strict sense (not including Rollandia crispa var. muricata) and C. ‘muricata’ (Rollandia crispa var. muricata) appear to be separate taxa. They can be found growing together. I have not yet seen any plants that look intermediate between the two.
