        I took a total of 81 shots, advancing my focus point 135 microns after each shot using an auto-focus rail called Shotstack. I then used a software program called Zerene Stacker to merge these photos together. Posted 2 years ago

              The pointy part makes me think of a moldy Hershey's kiss. Lol. Posted 2 years ago

The Hollyhock

"Alcea rosea" is an ornamental plant in the Malvaceae family. It was imported into Europe from southwestern China during, or possibly before, the 15th century. William Turner, an herbalist of the time, gave it the name "holyoke" from which the English name derives.
