Photo of the Day: August 8, 2007
Wow. This image of a very defensive plant almost looks like something from an electron microscope, than a photograph from a standard optical dSLR. Flickr user krisetya found this leaf at the Smithsonian Castle Garden, but can't remember what kind it is -- anyone know? EXIF.

wow is right. that's a great photo.
Solanum quitoense, also known as Naranjilla or Bed of Nails. I love that garden by the Arts and Industries Building, too; it's where I proposed last year to my now-wife.
