2014, Day 237 - Clasp

As I looked at the arrangement of these petals I was reminded of the setting in a ring used to hold the stone in place.  It then struck me as ironic because a flower is the gem of the plant but, to take that analogy further, the pollen is the focal point of the flower hence the petals really are the setting and the stigma are the gems.  Wow, that got convoluted quickly...
