Dianthus Curled Stigmas

Dianthus curled stigmas rise from the center of a single Dianthus blossom. They are pale and rimmed with fine hair-like crystals, set above a maroon-and-white corolla and lit from behind by warm golden light that falls into a wide soft bokeh. The two stigmas form near-perfect spirals, each tipped with tiny crystalline beads visible at this scale.
