Here's a thread we let slip by unnoticed ...

These guys are so much fun.

Why? Do they party a lot or something?

That third one is beautiful. Love the exposure on that one and the detail in the flower's centre.

Once they finish blooming that center part becomes a bumpy fruit. It's just starting to happen now. They turn a medium dark red. If I remember correctly, in the late fall. I think they look like little Christmas ornaments.

Iggy, thanks, I liked how the light turned out on that one myself. I was also pleased to keep the bare hint of yellow that the petals have.

Christmas Ornaments! Cool. Amazing what nature does for us.
