Dissident

I went to the botanical garden conservatory this morning hoping to find something for Flower Friday.  I spent far too much time chasing an ant on a Red Button Ginger plant, and as always, I find my macro skills a bit rusty at the beginning of the spring season.  I particularly liked this little mischief-making petal that is growing out of the center of this flower.  And if I am wondering why my eyes are now quite red and watery, one only has to look closely at all that pollen!  I have loaded the ant in extras - I have never been able to capture an ant before.
