These were shot hand-held and is a composite of two separate exposures manually stacked to get more dof which now doubles the buds in focus.

Good eye to see the cool macro on this edge of this leaf. I know there is a succulent plant that reproduces with baby plants on the edges of its leaves, then they drop down into the soil and grow. Maybe it's similar for this one. #10770383
