I swear...maybe it's just me but all closeups like this make me think they are wrapped in soft velvet..purple velvet...I love purple velvet but well...er different forum. :)
Awesome picture....

Now you let my secret out. I do wrap all the corals in velvet before a photograph.:lol:

Ahhh, I see now! Will other materials work, too? I have some cool "Finding Nemo" fabric that would look neat on my monti cap.

P.S. Oh, and beautiful coral, Greg :)

thanks everybody, it is starting to come along. I saw pictures of the mother at its peak and this piece still has quite a ways to go yet

i believe this is a cerealis and definitely one of my favs for the past week.

Wow Colin!

I think that is one of the nicest pieces! How long have you had it?
