Beautiful shot! I have these in my gardens too! They are usually the first ones to bloom for me. Can't wait to see them. Nice shot, you captured the rich colors of the bloom very well.
Spring? What's that? Full blown winter here. Beautifully clear and vibrant capture. Good to see something from you - worth the wait; and anticipating more...
"Imperfection is beauty; madness is genius & it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring. And when it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I'm really better than them."--Marilyn Monroe
All of earth is crammed with heaven And every bush aflame with God But only those who see take off their shoes. - Elizabeth Barrett Browning<p>

I was raised in South Dakota and this was the States Flower. It's so beautiful. And you got a most lovely photo of it. If I remember right, they are a fairly small flower. A very precious shot my friend..Verena
