One from my other neighbors yard. I will share another image of this beauty in bloom.

These are really huge flowers and some may know what kind of flower this is, but I'll wait till I post the next one to name it.

Hand held the canon ef 70-300 IS USM lens once again.

I should have had the flower a little lower in the frame, but still I think it is worth sharing.

Hope you like it, and thank you for your comments. ♪ ♫ :)sandi♪ =^..^=

That is so colorful. Still wish I could get my reds to look like this without being all blown out. This is just beautiful. I hope it doesn't grow up yelling..."Feed Me Seymour"!!!

To me it's a hibiscus bud. If so, its foofy stage has only an endurance of just one day. Please don't tell it to her Sandi, as knowing this there's a chance it don't like to grow up, Very fine post.

Another fine shot Sandi. Looks a bit like a Hollyhock bloom bud but cannot be sure. That means I need a bloom shot with more of the plant in it. Please..... :o)

WOW Sandi, this is a beautiful bud, the colours are so vivid. Love it and it definitely is well worth sharing with us. I knew when I saw the title I knew it would be an absolutely stunning beauty and wasn't disappointed. Your photography is so amazing girlfriend.

That's a great lens, Sandi. I thought maybe you had a new macro lens until you said otherwise. That is still a foofy! lol And a most beautiful one too and it has a really neat form and pattern. I would love to see it when it blooms too.

It looks like a tube of lipstick Tigz. A beautiful shade I might add. I look forward to seeing it bloom.

I just got this in the VB and I can tell you that I loved it! I had to stop by and see who captured this usually beauty. It all most looks like a drill, I like that it is all alone and so close up and so clear. Great Job with this one. + FAVE.
