Cotoneaster cultivar

Cotoneaster cultivar

From December 16, 2006 to January 14, 2007, Botany Photo of the Day is going to be featuring photo abstracts posted with little or no scientific commentary. If abstracts aren't to your taste, please consider revisiting the site in mid-January. – Daniel

Labelled Cotoneaster horizontalis 'Variegatus', the name has apparently changed, so only Cotoneaster cultivar for now.

Knox M. Henry commented:

Very interesting and intriquing. How did you accomplish this fascinating image?

Daniel Mosquin commented:

Strong, contrasty light works well for these - and then simply swirling the image with the camera with a fairly long exposure - I don't recall for how long, though.

Ron B commented:

Can't see the picture on this computer but the commonly sold plant is correctly C. atropurpureus 'Variegatus'. It should have never been grown under C. horizontalis, when you take a second look it is actually fairly apparent that the varegated cultivar is not the same structurally as C. horizontalis.
