    Starburst

    I don't usualy like to post something without including the common and scientific names, but on this one I just have no clue.

    Great stuff there Almo! I think we can do without the scientific name this time, as the presentation is good enough.

    Have you ever noticed the name I give things? i.e. "big blue bird", as long as i'm near, you'll be a genius.

    Great image! Do you by any chance have a wider shot so I can help ID that tree? It very well may be a Tupelo gum tree from the look of that fruiting body

    Good guess Paul. Turned out to be this:

    Common Buttonbush, Cephalanthus occidentalis, N.E. Florida.

    Hey, Almo - great shot! I saw your horizontal one but this version is a standout. The subject looks totally alien and this image has what it takes to "stop viewers in their tracks".

    Never seen anything like it - thanks for sharing.
    Please do not edit or repost my images.

    What's a Loupe for anyway?
