Recently I saw a flower that got me thinking about the 5-point star pattern in nature. Besides the obvious starfish in the sea, I’ve noticed the star pattern frequently in flowers. How many “stars” have you seen today?

Beautiful pix Pam. I particularly like the orange and pink bat stars. Where do these critters live?~James
The bat stars live in Monterey Bay and elsewhere along the Pacific coast from Alaska to Baja. Their colors are out of this world. A good link about them is at: http://www.montereybayaquarium.org/animals/AnimalDetails.aspx?enc=wdq7Hhmsy4OyXT7PGLALpQ==
Indeed, scenic series!

Nice series Pam. The most graphically interesting for me is the starfish making an infinity symbol.
Oh that’s great! I hadn’t noticed. Even Richard didn’t notice, and he is a scientist too. 🙂
