Description
This is the downy bud of a four-nerve daisy, Tetraneuris linearifolia, as it begins opening into a flower head. Although this photograph looks like it was shot in a studio or with an artificial background, I took the picture outdoors, using nearby shaded trees as a natural backdrop.

I love the tiny petals! They look like little fingers.
Steven Schwartzman replied:
Yes, they do look like little fingers. In addition, I thought of them as the crenels and merlons on the battlement of a castle.

Thank you. I'm fortunate that this species is common in my area and even grows at the margins of busy streets.

Steven Schwartzman replied:
Diminutive four-nerve daisy flower buds are wonderful when they begin to open, aren't they? The shallow depth of field makes the soft hairs on the side stand out all the more.

Thanks for being the first to comment on this newly posted picture. To my eyes, the part of the down that's in focus seems to come forward from the picture plane.
