A Shy Lady by myautofocuslife

A Shy Lady

When I came across this newly opened flower in the early morning, I couldn't resist shooting it. I love its buttery yellow color! This is the flower of a lady's finger plant. (Lady's finger is called okra in the U.S.A.) Isn't it pretty? It resembles a hibiscus because it's in the same family as the hibiscus flower.

There is a larger version if you'll like to see greater detail. 8)
so lovely!! I love the beautiful colors!

Hi Livia, I am so cross that the whole window shot will not load fully, I think it is maybe too big; anyway if you do want to see the rest of the shots and please do not feel you have to; I had a space on the 16th June so I have dumped them there;0) Ain't technology great!

Hi Honey, I took my comment off your trail manners shot, I wasn't about to get into a row with anyone; I was thinking about the lady who let her dog off, when I was visiting my park with the swans, I posted my comment at the same time as Robert, so hadn't even seen his comment.
July 8th, 2012  
Stunning capture Livia. Beautiful soft color. Especially like how the deep burgundy center compliments the rest of the flower.
