One of a Kind

I hope this looks as special uploaded as it does on my computer. Just a single spent blossom but to me, it looks unique.

That is gorgeous. What did it used to be?

[Allison Williams]

@cdonohoue I don't know but I am hopeful that one of my 365 nature experts will be able to tell me.

[Elizabeth Youngs]

Very pretty!

[Amber McCarter]

VERY awesome!

good enough for a fave from me. I like its simplicity, the detail and even though it is not a colorful flower, it has its own beauty. I like the way the background is blurred making the little guy the star.

I love these flowers in all stages ... I always take pics of them in the park. But I don't know what they are .... yours is beautiful here. Great dof and colors!

@cdonohoue @allie912 @karenann This is an Alium! I had 3 of them bloom in my garden this year...love them!

[karenann]

Thanks so much for the info, Angie!! :)

[Rick Schies]

Oh it does Allison. I love how it stands out so beautifully.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I agree- Alium. I didn't know what they were either until 365. This is a really great shot because of the color- it's so strikingly bold- and the focus on the flower. I always chuckle because the plant is called Alium, but in this stage to me they look quite alien.
