Great DOF Nathan. This looks like a fireworks! I love the detail that you captured as well as the lighting. It is incredible.
The background is quite lovely too with the exception of the brightness of what appears to be another flower appearing in the upper left that tends to draw the viewers eye away from the breathtaking beauty of this blossom. This image still went right to my favorites immediately!
I am also using it as my current desktop!
And you surely are correct. It is a show-stopper!!!
Many thanks for sharing your 'find' with me :=)
This is a very unusual flower and I dont think I have come across this one before, but what ever it is, it is a beauty. Well spotted and a great capture!

If this flower is not called "fireworks" it certainly should be.
It's so nice when the cleverness of the title matches the excellence of the photography.
Whadda sparkler dude!! Fantastical flora just pops!!
