Whatever it is, it's certainly interesting. Nicely done.

Great shot. No idea, but a very interesting and beautiful flower.
Like the dof and the side perspective of the other blossom.

Beauty in tatters :>) Actually it's similar to Nigella 'Love in the Mist ' however similar in name, Elaine has got it in her search.
It's a sweety.

It's beautiful and we'll have to get out the book. Looks like a fringed buttercup.
