Description

Found this pretty plant in the Desert Dome at the Henry Doorly Zoo. The light was just right to show off its blue green leaves against a red rock wall.

This certainly is a jewl...well done the colors are beatiful. I believe this is a sensative plant. I have been growing them since I was little. When you touch the leaves they close up.

Great portrait of this plant Nikki. #8454444

Wonderful shot with sharp detail and fantastic shallow DOF, Nikki!! #8454649

Beautifully balanced, Nikki. Enough bits of red throughout the plant against a strong (but not dark) green. Blurring the wall behind it without losing the red tones or muddying it altogether was well done. #8462400
