Stages and visitor...

I am SO far behind. Just trying to catch up.
No need to comment. Thanks!

Exquisite capture

Love the focus and background bokeh.

I like the interesting pattern on the green part of the bud and the pattern of the petals of the opened one.

Nicely captured; just the right amount of blur on the unopened bud
