OK, so it's really a flower in the cactus exhibit at the U.S. Botanical Gardens in Washington, D.C. A lovely, tiny flower rising above the thorns. Autosettings, natural light, handheld, manual focus

Lovely, James. I like the lighting on the flower and the blurred cactus in the background. #385034James R. Jackson February 18, 2004
Joyce, Colette, and Patricia,Thanks so much! Patricia, the lighting was great for the shot; natural sunlight hindered only by the glass of the greenhouse. It really made the bloom shine! Thanks again! Jay #385083
