Those spines are less than 1 mm wide at the tip. Do you know what it is?

This looks thicker than a Christmas cactus, tho. So perhaps it's one of those aloe vera leaf tips?

Actually it looks like an embryo of something, Wes. perhaps a very very young branch/leaf?

How much magnification did you use? You certain got the focus right on target. I really like this capture. I'll also bet you had to use the macro rail!

Thanks Trish and Flo. Trish, I do like taking pictures of the cactus when it blooms but it is through now so had to resort to this.

Flo, you are so good at identifying things. I am on a Nidon forum about macro shooting and was trying out an approach without my macro lens. I put on the 28-300 mm lens, added a Nikon 6T, macro cranked the lens out to 300mm and, of course, using the focus rail focused in on these delicate tips. The white stuff is part of the aloe, not dustSmile .

I was thinking aloe or a similar plant but I thought it would have been greener. I wish I had a macro focus rail. Too much stuff out there. Cheesy
