Actully I haven't the faintest idea what this is, but I find it's bottle brush appearance quite striking. It reminds me of a porcupine, or at least how a porcupine might look if it were a tree. I think it's some type of palm, but my googling hasn't turned up anything even remotely similar, so I can't be sure. Heck, I can't even be nearly sure. Or even slightly optimistic.

Any budding herbologists out there want to take a guess? (Get it? budding herbologists? I crack myself up.)

More monochrome shots can be found over at Aileni's - swing by and have a look.

I have not a clue, but it's definitely cool looking! :-)
ReplyDeleteMakes a superb design.
ReplyDeleteI really do not know, but love it in monochrome. (Love your blog idea of "an island" btw :) Nice island!)
ReplyDeleteSo strange and different, but beautiful.
ReplyDeleteNice start of this week to you.
It certainly make its point(s)...
ReplyDeleteIt does look a little bit like a plant version of a porcupine. I think I know what it is but I can't think of the name. If I find it in my books, I'll come back and tell you what I think it is.
ReplyDeleteYep, I'm like that on plant identification too! And birds. Great shots though.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fascinating plant,shall we call it Spiky? lol
ReplyDeleteLooks very good in mono though.
Mmmmm.... not sure what it is, but it's a great shot to use for Mono. Yea, I like spiky.
ReplyDeletePalms tend to look great in monochrome. This one is no exception. Interesting plant.
ReplyDeleteI guess it really doesn't matter what you call it as long as you like it! Turns int great b&w photo.
ReplyDeleteIt's a...
ReplyDelete...stunning piece of photography. Great use of texture and light.
Funny how anyone else would just see a plant. You, on the other hand, see its potential. I find that totally cool.
I'm not a 'budding herbologist' either :(
ReplyDeleteBut the photos are fabulous!
Neat ... but the link for the comments is not appearing unless I click on your 'home' page URL ..
ReplyDeleteI love the tonality in the succulent.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a yucca to me. But what do I know?
ReplyDeleteI'll tell you what I know... I know it's a fantastic photo that's what I know. Really marvelous tonality and contrast. And I love the way it radiates like.. a radiant thingie.
...a strange plant! But beautiful! =) Thank you for your visit.
ReplyDelete"A radiant thingie" - perfect, I love it.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what's going on with the comments Daryl, but I think it's something with Blogger. I've had trouble refreshing all day. Hopefully they'll get it sorted soon.
Looks like a great textile pattern.
ReplyDeleteIt is nice whatever it is. Looks great in B&W.
ReplyDeletePatterns nicely captured in this mono.
ReplyDeleteNeat shots both!
ReplyDeleteLovely lines. This wouldn't look anywhere near as good in colour.
