14th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Bold contrast and symmetry in Coleus plant at the Chicago Botanic Garden.

Beautiful pattern and symmetry can be seen everywhere in nature and are often repeated. Here, the striking contrast and pattern in the leaves of a Coleus plant reminds one of rivers and tributaries seen from space or veins and capillaries seen under a microscope.
