Cactus Bud

A cactus bud - It comes from a large cactus on a Nature Trail in Oceanside, California. Buds, some with a small flower, fall from the cactus. One was mounted in a small mound of clay and digitized. A Revopoint Pop 3 Plus 3D Scanner was used to create "cactus_bud.stl". The bud was covered with a sublimable white spray to make it visible to the scanner. The sublimable material dissipates on standing.
