Ornamental Thistle

This flower in the garden looked like it was lit up in the early morning sunshine, I didn't see the bee until I put the picture on screen.

I love surprises like that....the flower's violet color is so vibrant. If I didn't know better I might think it was a plastic imitation b/c it is so perfect!

This is an amazing purple flower -- the lighting is marvelous. I didn't see the bee until you mentioned it. I agree with Faerie Moon that it looks like an sea anemone.
