Great title. Great macro!

[Jane Anderson]

Response to your title: impossible to ignore in this photo!

[Sue Moore]

Ha! Fantastic shot John!

[Anita Campbell]

Beautiful, John. Very different POV, and I like it.

@satinscape @cejaanderson @yogisue @aglennc Just outside my dentists office. Don't do a lot of flower shots nowadays, but could not pass this one up.

[Louise & Ken]

Clever to the max! Love this! (I photographed one yesterday as well...sort of surprised to see them blooming in pots in yards here in Chicago. Don't they know winter is around the corner?!)

[Tom]

Very clever title, love the image too!

[Peggy Scroggins]

Glad you did not pass this one up. Great title and shot.

[Dawn Ulmer]

One of your best!

[Suse♡]

Beautiful vivid red!

@Weezilou @jeavonstom @miata2u @deu49097 @susale Thank you for your great comments. Although the phallic pistil drew my attention, I think the shiny, rippled, deeply crimson interior is my favorite part.
Now I am getting all Georgia O'Keefe on you....

[Stephanie Swift]

Love the burst of colour, the texture of the petals, the complicated, beautiful, unashamedly flaunted centre, and your title.

@tristansmum Thanks. I agree!
