great close-up shot - looks like a seed-pod/fruit. I think I can see black seeds in an open pod in pic #2 ?. Lovely spotting ! thanks for sharing
interesting macro
Thank you all, I wish I know it's name
Amazing plant but really a shame its growing wild in California. Your first photo is stunning though.
whith that photo i think that some one specialist in marine biodiversity will id it for you,whith the first photo it was more dificult
I found it on the sand near the beach. Please check the onther photo I just added.
