If Frogs Were Flowers by myautofocuslife

If Frogs Were Flowers

The first time I saw green chrysanthemums, I thought I was seeing things. They are so pretty! These are sometimes called "kermit mums" because of their color. 8D
Gorgeous focusing, and so soft around the edges. Perfect.

Awesome color and a beautiful shot! Kermit flower - that made me smile :-). Maybe there is a Miss Piggy rose out there too.
March 5th, 2012  
Beautiful close Up. I`ve seen it before I always wonder is it real or did they color them. I know they color flowers and I hate it. For example , the blue
Phalaenopsis are colored / painted
