Cactus Dahlia

Thought this was a most curious flower. It looks like a sea anemone, and was even swaying gently just like they do. (Rain has FINALLY quit, now I'm "busier than a fox in a hen house!)

@kdrinkie Thanks so much, Kim. This was another zooooooom shot; also SOOC. I decided that the flower itself was just too much flower, so I angled it to get the bud smack dab in it. Not sure if it really works. And I agree; the color is just a shocking pink! Be well, Les
