floating coneflower

don't ask me what i did or how i did it because the answer is "i don't know!" i had about six shots of the coneflowers and each one seemed to be floating as their stems were missing. taken from the gardens of one of the churches near my office building.

thank you for your kind views and comments; know that they are truly appreciated.

I can see the stem.

@bobfoto A figment of your imagination, Jason!
Is that a bee I can see in the middle? Fabulous shot!

[Claire]

I have said it before genius! :0)
Seriously though this is just wonderful

It must be magic! Wonderful capture of the gorgeous flower and the bee.

I really love how the color pops with the green background

[Rita]

There is a hint of the stem, but it is magical anyway!

Supper capture Vikki. I know what you did. You had a very large aperture to get this shallow dof.

Wow! Super shot!

Great minds see pictures alike. http://365project.org/olivetreeann/365/2014-06-30
p.s. it's a Gailardia flower (I think I spelled that wrong).

@maggiemae - once you spy the stem, it kinda sticks out....

[Simply Amanda]

It's visible, not clear, but there. So many good colors in this happy shot. Great catch.
