A gorgeous flower and capture, amazing color contrast between the center and petals.

Very nice follow up image to the emerging bud shot of this same flower. Terrific looking specimen which adds yellow to the pink and green complimentary colors.

Wonderful sequence to the former shot-even cheerier- love seeing this flower in full bloom. It lumps right off the screen!

I agree - yet I still prefer the previous simplicity and softer colours of the unopened bloom, KK. :)
