Revisiting my favorite macro shots: Young fern leaf or tentacled creature?

I am pleased that the Flickr community has started a monthly challenge. This allows me to review my old photos that belong to the assigned category for the month, since they do not require that the pictures submitted be taken recently. This month's subject is "Up Close & Macro." I call this one "Young Fern Leaf? Or Tentacled Creature?" Photos are from Flickr/Jep .

Dragon Fruit Plants (seedlings)

Dragon Fruit Plants (seedlings) , a photo by Jepster on Flickr. Dragon Fruit Plant seedlings growing up and starting to look like a proper cactus. I tried my luck growing these from seeds and of all the seeds that I have sown only this tiny clump of seedlings sprouted.

This is the white flesh variety and none in the other plant box where I tried growing the red variety survived. Better luck next time.
