Those flowers are soooo beautiful!!! I love the blue and yellow markings on the top peddals!! Reminds me of peacock feathers. They look great with the black background!
Great work!!

Hi Jen. This is a very charming looking flower. I wonder how can this be aggressive. Maybe its like woman ha ha. Nice work here. Nice composition and focus with good light balance.

Its lovely..! And its a Great composition..! Congratulations

You certainly have made this horrible pest look good. Great photo!

You are correct: It chokes out waterways and other life cannot sustain because it hogs the oxygen and sucks up all the nutrients. But it is so beautiful, isn't it? Guess the saying is true...no matter how beautiful...too much of a good thing can be bad..
However: this photo...awesome! It is a perfect beauty of a shot!

Looks very pretty for such a troublemaker. Nice picture, Jen. great colors and focus.

Wow. That is indeed gorgeous. One has to really come up with a high scoring winner to stand out from all the flower photos on this website. Congrats. You made it.

Stunning image of the charming flower, Jen.
High marks and congratulations.

Hi Jennifer,
Stunning bloom!....Stunning shot!.......Excellent!
Cheers!.......John.

Another incredible shot Jennifer! I love the black background in contrast to that beautiful flower! Excellent! Vicky

A beautiful image captured!...These flowers remind me of the female dancers in the Russian Flower Dance sequence in the Disney animated "Fantasia"...

What kind of problems can it cause? Why is it that anything beuatiful carries a warning with it?

this is what someone sent me.

You are correct: It chokes out waterways and other life cannot sustain because it hogs the oxygen and sucks up all the nutrients.

i'm so glad you liked it. thank you for letting me know. jen

Another great shot from your camera Jen! The lighting on this flower is awesome. It is hard to believe that it can kill anything.....I can still admire it on my desktop though, right? Thanks for posting this deadly beauty. It will be enjoyed my be for quite awhile :~)

This macro is just lovely, and you did an excellent job of isolating the subject from any cluttering background. The blueish-purle's offset the white flowers beautifully, and the way the flowers are facing slightly left gives it a coquettish feeling.

Such a pretty plant. The petal colors are lovely and the
photo is so clear. I want one except
they are troublesome :*)

Like most of the pretty women I've known .. hogs all the oxygen .. ;o)

wonderfully done.

Very nice pic. Pretty flower. Aggressive eh? A 12 gauge shotgun will take care of that.

This is simply elegant Jen. When I see images such as this it reminds me why I visit Caedes.
Thanks for a perfect image.
