I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

What a stunning and unusual flower with vibrant colors. Captured with great light and composition. Thanks for sharing these...will have to find out the name, they're beautiful.
Can't always give individual thanks but I am so appreciative of everyone's comments and input. I truly enjoy seeing all of your posts and am always happy to see you at My Gallery. Thanks, Anita
Hum.......don't think I have ever seen this one before. Interesting that it pops from a closed red bud into a yellow flower. Amazing and well captured.

Gee Charlie, do wish I new what these were. I agree with Pat, don't know of a flow that goes from a red bud to yellow flower. Interesting capture and thanks for sharing. Beautiful and vivid.

Hi Charlie,
Just browsing the many lovely pictures in your gallery and noticed that no one ever got around to mentioning the name of this. It is a variety of "asclepias". A common name for it in this part of the country is "Butterfly Weed" because it does attract them in the summer. This is an excellent closeup of a beautiful flower.
