In Full Bloom

It has been raining all night & I thought for sure this poor flower would be drowned.
To my surprise it was fully out & looks great.
Hope you all enjoyed my "blooming" journey. :D
You're right Louise - shades of "socks"

how beautiful, I love the color of this and the water drops.. Great shot!

[Stephanie Clark]

Wow! It's kind of like watching a child grow up in three photos!
I like this photo espcailly, not only because it's in full bloom, but the water on it just blows my mind!

[Louise & Ken]

I enjoyed every bloomin' picture! You've got quite a delightful sense of humor to go with your lovely photos. "Merry Christmas"!

[Elizabeth Hanna]

Ah.... perfection! It has been a great evolution..... now.... you could put all the pictures together as a collage!!

[Barbara Eder]

Ah wow, what a gorgeous blossom. It is so good that you let us see how it has developed from the bud.

You did it! Your patience was rewarded. I love looking at the thumbnails under today's picture and seeing the process all at once. A great idea, perfectly executed!

BTW, Taking Elizabeth's suggest, Picnik has a great sequence template you could use for a collage.
