 Last minute entry. I've been feeling so run down lately, I've not felt up to putting my all into my shots, so while this is a poor photo, I wanted to enter something rather than nothing.
I have a very small peach plaque, with a verse written on it about friendship (a gift from a good friend) and a tiny flower pot in one corner. The flower stalk and leaves are made from copper wire. Obviously, there's a little smattering of glitter.
It's noisy and technically bad, so I expect this shot to bomb.

Edit: Cropped, resized, cloned out a bunch of flaws (yay for being able to clone!) noise removal a couple of times, burned a little bit and sharpened.

An ornamental flower pot.
The white balance is a big problem here

A stumper, so meets the challenge. But the subject leaves me cold, sorry.

My guess is part of a greetings card with 3D embellishments, turned sideways.

Decoration on a wedding cake.

Flower art? (Feels a little dark and don't care for the shadows under the bit at the right side.)

This looks like it's made of wax. It must be pretty small for it to be a macro.

Perhaps if you had cropped this to just the top half of the photo it would be more of a puzzle. It's a flower pot, some sort of art work.
