helenium: mardi gras

This is one of the flowers Ray planted in the newly cleared bit of garden. I like the idea of 'fat Tuesday' before 'Ash Wednesday'.

I photographed this helenium last month but there are still one or two flowers bravely hanging on.

Love the focus on the centre of the flower. It really looks as though it is jumping out.
