It's a heavy pollen year.

Lovely composition and detail. Wow. who would have thought this is what a dahlia bud looks like. Incredible the way each little petal is outlined in black like an artist has painted the edges

@seacreature The black was actually dark purple. But the light was very glaring. Thanks to you and @narayani for the comment.
