Almost There

The Echinacea buds are almost ready to open. I should get some of those fancy hybrids I've been seeing here at 365. This one's the plain old ordinary pink one.

Many thanks for dropping by.

Perfect macro - the echinacea have been fascinating me ALL summer so far. Be sure to check on the whole Fibonacci sequence in nature thing! Here's my favorite explanation: http://www.maths.surrey.ac.uk/hosted-sites/R.Knott/Fibonacci/fibnat.html#plants Scroll down for the explanation of the echinacea! I think MaryBeth @espyetta has rubbed off on me!!
