Meet Brutus, one of the biggest blooms I have ever seen. Found it growing wild. It nearly grabbed me by the throat and tried to slap me around a little. Canon S95.

As Julius the Cable Guy said, "Et two Brutus?" "No Julius, they are so big I only et one."
The shot look great and the narrative was awesome. We all needed slapped around once it a while Owd Momma. It brings us back to normal.

Marvelous color and excellent use of light, Pat. The backlit green leaves on the flower add the perfect touch to this great closeup. Well done!

Good thing you had your equipment with you and gave this aggressor a good "shot". It looks very nice with the bright sun shining on it.

Congratulations with this narrow escape Momma. Think it's wise to call first 911 the next time when you see such a meat consuming monster, lol.

Splendid post, Pat!

Regards, Cornelius.
