Everlasting....

Mara brought over a tiny wee glass bottle (4cms tall) with 10 or so of these lovely papery flowers when she came over for dinner last night. I had a bit of a play with an old black velvet top, a tripod, some lights, a spray bottle of water and my macro lens. Still not quite happy with focus but am experimenting with settings as suggested by blippers and I think it is very pretty. This flower is known as "Everlasting".

(Helichrysum bracteatum I think)
