This is simply fantastic! I looked at a D200 yesterday but must search for new work thus, the D-SLR must wait for a short while longer...

Beautiful macro!
My parents have had Hoya carnosa, or a related species, in their living room window for the past 20 years. The flowers produce large amounts of honey dew which tastes deliciously.
