I love seeing them in comparison!
The end result of the blossom is often very different than I expect from seeing the bud. 😉
A hat-trick with bags
hehe! I will never look at a bud the same way again. Thanks for the giggle. 😂
IT Looks very nice
Thanks, Gisela. Have a wonderful day. 😊
The transformation of the rough-hewn bud to the wispy softness of the flower is a stunning contrast, Pepper! Gorgeous!
Exactly! I never noticed buds and the transformation until getting into photography. 😊
Excellent macro shots as always! Thanks for sharing these Pepper.
Aw, thanks! Gotta love macro photography. 😉
Very pretty, both the seed bud and the bloom!
Thanks, Linda. 😊
I esp. love the intricate design and coloration of the bud!
I do too, Eliza. I look forward each year watching flowers go from bud to blossoms.
They’re such a pretty colour.
I think they are pretty too! Too pretty to be called a weed. 😉
Thoughtful words accomplish much.
