What a gorgeous pop of bright orange - and beautifully captured among its grey foliage - This year has been a strange one in more ways than one affecting some flora as well as us ! Great dof lifting the flower out of the foliage - quite a 3D effect ! fav

Pretty color!

Lovely pop of colour. Love how these flowers close at night!

I think it's called "casting off" (the verb for what a flower is doing when it blooms out of season). I saw a wee daisy a couples days ago, but didn't photograph.

That shallow dof makes it look like it's floating in the air. Such a vivid shade of orange.

We have a lot growing around our parts as well. Very strange indeed, but then...2020.
