Know what this is? It's an oak gall called an oak appe. A swelling caused by an oak leaf being infected by a species of wasp that makes its home in here.

	TrombaMarina says: Thank you both for your comments! It's not a flower (reproductive structure found in flowering plants) but it was part of a plant (until it broke off). There is no bread involved. Good guesses though! Posted 29 months ago. ( permalink )
	TrombaMarina says: Well, no-one got it. This is a dried Oak Apple with a hole in it lit from the side. I updated the description. Posted 29 months ago. ( permalink )
	weaving major & tractor dan says: wonderful shot. I wouldn't have guessed it either. What an amazing structure! The lighting and colors are so great. Having the left side blown out really makes it seem like a fragment from another world. Posted 28 months ago. ( permalink )
