Glow from Within

I can't remember the kind of plant, which grows in my front yard. I went out at night and flashed it from underneath. I used a macro lens to close in and set the F-stop at 22 to get some good depth of field. The leaves are white and fuzzy so the idea was to capture the glow around their edges. In Photoshop I adjusted contrast and nearly desaturated the picture, but left in a slight trace of the rather surprising red, yellow and blue hues.
