Description

The sepal is the part of a flower, often green, that rests underneath the larger petals. A collection of sepals are known as a calyx.
The calyx on this pink dahlia reminds me of watermelon rinds.

Canon EF 70-200mm@70mm with the Canon 500D close up lens f/10 1/60 sec ISO 200 (Tripod and cable release)
