I liked the light and the hairs too. Botanically its a fine example of a whorl.

With this kind of lighting it is NOT neglected.

Hello Chasity. It is only since I have been taking close-ups of plants that I have come to realise how very hairy most of them are!

Thanks Luis.

Hermes - perhaps I should have called the picture 'Whorl' instead of 'Neglected Middle'. It's rather a good word.

Hello Rune. If only this plant could know there was one moment when anyone who wished could look, see and admire! It will have grown in the few days since I took its picture and I doubt I would be able to pick the same one out again in the undergrowth.

How that beautiful light reveals such an interesting stem! I've never noticed that before so I will investigate further.
