I think this is an echinacea. The petals and the center look like little spikes, hence the title. Thanks in advance for any comments. ENJOY!

I think you are right about it being echinacea. It is very flat and not cone shaped like it's more famous sister, but never the less, a beauty from the garden and a fine spreader too. The shot is excellent too, Jen, with unopened buds balancing on both top and bottom corner. Nice vibrant color as well.

Spiky looks perfect as you present him to all the female flowers in the Caedes gallery WC. I imagine he will be quite popular. Beautiful work.

The name suits the picture. Very well captured. Brilliant petals add to the enhancement. I would like to know how big the flower was. Since there is not scale around to compare it with. Just curious.

Well done, Jen. One of those rare occurrences when central positioning is dictated. Quite striking.

Great clarity on the flower Jen and the very attractive colour combination makes this a real eye-catcher.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . .
