The flowers survived, my pantyhose didn't...

Wonderful set. #3 is my favourite here too but I wish you had had a macro lens and got a really good shot of the flower poking through that leaf....maybe a crop job on the shot you have? That looks amazing to me.

Thank you, everyone. They were indeed worth a pair of pantyhose, and scrubbing my knees once I got back to the office. As for the closeup, Iggy, either of these grab you?





And one more for Wicked Dark, to get her through until hers are blooming.

Cool stuff! I can not believe how orange their centers are.

That's very cool with the bud sticking through the dead leaf!

Thanks, JAS; yes, the centers are very orange. Especially noticeable when you're shooting down at them.


Glad you like the closer crop, MA. And your pantyhose shots are in another thread.

Yes! They both do! Very cool!

I was thinking of renting a macro lens over the 'net and trying these again. (Several internet businesses around) It hailed this evening on the way home from grocery shopping. Maybe I'll wait a couple more weeks, and keep cropping down instead.
