is it the ruffles ? is it the shadow of a halo around the border of the yellow throat and the pink petals ? is it something else that no-one else sees ? or is it the flower as it sits right now, no other dreams ? what do you see in the flower ? is it perfect now ? or is it a stepping bloom to something else that you see and others will be glad you did ? such is the magic of the garden. this flower is Mary Frances Ragain. is there another flower that will follow this one ? two images …

Interesting texture in this one around the edges – very nice!
It’s the ruffles 🙂
You are in the intimacy of the flower!
One perfect bloom.
