 This is Sundew flowers growing in a mossy patch. Sundews are actually carnivorous plants so are real Triffids, but can only eat little insects. The point of view makes the moss look like a hill, and the Triffids (Well Sundews...) look a lot more menacing than the tiny flowers they actually are.

There is a cleaner crop of this picture, but it did not look like a group of Trifids, just an interesting macro image.

Nice, bright, saturated colours and you just about get away with the daring DoF you've opted for. Rather pretty.

heh. Didn't think anyone remembered that movie. The book, btw, was way better than the flick.
I like this image. Nicely done.
