Opposites challenge - young

Not much photo time or inspiration again today, so captured a quick pic of these 'young' buds, which will soon turn into flowers. Had to use manual focus to get a close-up (didn't quite get it right, but close...). The range of cool colours and patterns in the buds didn't show up though :(
