Unshaven Beauty

This little red flower is only 1cm (0.3in) long. I love its shape. I wasn't certain if I had captured it properly because I'm still getting to know my macro lens. But I was really happy to discover that even the tiny hairs on the flower can be seen!

Does anyone else feel the urge to give this flower a shave? 8D
