The very life force of creation seems to burst from the "Purple Spiked Succulent" illuminated and glowing in this Tony Howell photograph. In a brilliant use of light, the water that gives this plant its categorization carries the light through the light violet spikes to let them show themselves as the things of beauty they are in and out. Tiny cobalt points stand along the edges of each spike and long, delicate stamen reach out from the plant's center. Wherever your environment wants for a burst of light and color, it will be well served by this exuberant photograph.
