Love your thoughts on this picture. Its beautiful and a great closeup. It deserves to still be called a flower.

It's an EX-flower! But every ex-flower holds promise for another generation next year!

I think you've turned it into an art object by photographing it as you have.

What a lovely image! I love the texture on the petals, it seems like satin or silk.
