ISO 1600
Another in my efforts for a class in macrophotography at the Botanic Garden, this specimen of buds on the cusp of blooming belongs to a tender flowering shrub that is part of the acanthus family. "White Candles" bushes come from semitropical Ethiopia and are slowly becoming popular in American greenhouse gardens.
