I thought this resembled the hairdoo of a punk rocker, hence the name Sheena (as in Sheena is a Punk Rocker by the Ramones).

Sheena
My wife planted these really cool daisy's, called echinacea or purple coneflowers. I've been wanting to photograph and they were parked right next to the parsley (where the butterfly's lay their eggs), so I took a few shots with the macro lens.

That is one amazing macro shot. And Sheena is definitely the perfect name for this beautiful flower!
Nice photograph! The name fits, too.
Love the macro shots. This is a great shot. I love the detail in the flower cone.

During my time as a punk rocker from 1980 to 1986 I saw several people whos hair resembled this flower. Cool shot and what a great song. :)
The macro is fabulous -- and the name makes me smile. But I'm fascinated by your comment that butterflies lay their eggs in your parsley patch. What a lovely thing to know about. I'm fairly new to your blog, so maybe you've posted about that before. I'll jump back and look.
Lovely macro of cone - unusual take on the subject!
