This is the kind of photo that keeps me taking pictures. A sharp eye will note that the image is just a touch out-of-focus. It's acceptable for the web, but not useful for a print, as it is clearly out-of-focus at its original size (roughly 15x the area of this one). I'm going to have to try again next year.

Usually, if there's no compelling reason to keep an out-of-focus photograph, I toss it. I had to make an exception for this one, because I think it is one of those uncommon photos that keeps the eye constantly in motion; my eye is initially drawn to the buds, then to the left and up following the flow of the leaflets; then back to the buds, and the cycle begins anew.

A few more Decaisnea insignis photographs can be seen on the forums, and you can learn more about the plant from the text of the interpretative sign.
