Take this stargazer lily, for example. Have you ever noticed that its dark pink spots are three-dimensional extensions on the petal? Honestly, I hadn't until I studied it with my camera in hand.
It's not the first time I've viewed a plant up-close and been reminded of a sea anemone. I suppose they're probably distant cousins ten-times removed, though, so it shouldn't be terribly surprising!
Camera: Canon 40D with 60mm macro lens, 1/60s, f/2.8 at ISO 500 by a west-facing window at about 3:30 p.m.
