I took this picture in the backyard on Saturday. Eventually this blossom will form a seed pod that when touched will explode and scatter the seeds.

About Me
- John Theberge
- I live in Lewiston, Maine and have for most of my life. I've always had an interest in nature; as a kid I read books by Edwin Way Teal, Rachael Carson, among others, and I used to love studying the Golden Nature Guides. When I got into photography it was natural for me to take pictures of the natural world. A few years ago I got into kayaking and that allowed me to get to places I would never be able to by hiking and of course this gives me more photography oppurtunities. I realized years ago you don't have to travel to exotic locations to get good photographs. I have to admit I'm lucky to be living in a beautiful state with a lot of natural diversity, but I've taken good pictures right in my own back yard and neighborhood.

Very appropriately named! It even has little sparkles on the leaf!
Beautiful shot! And here's a new assignment for you! Catch the moment they explode! ;)
Cheers, Klaus
My...you really made it live up to its name! It looks like a lovely little jewel. Mine are at popping stage already. Wish I knew how to capture that.....you and Klaus can probably do it.
interesting plant. The colors it it are very nice. Great capture. I except you to get a picture of it exploding....
Hi John
What a peculiar plant! We have nothing like that here really - although our Sundew plants are quite strange to look at.
Best wishes, Adrian
I'm with Klaus! I'd love to see the explosion.
Love this shot. All the "glitter" is gorgeous.
Beautiful! Love the water drops.
Great shot! I does look like a jewel! This photo is definitely one. :-)
