This shot didn't turn out so great due to some lighting and angle I got, but, I thought it was unusual and wanted to share. Not sure what kinda flower it is, sorry.
*You will have noticed that I haven't been commenting as much on your fine images!..This is because of the pains in my hands!..the constant use of the keyboard, makes this difficult..so, my dear friends..I can only apologise to you all in advance!*

Looks like some sort of frilly Cosmos to me. Lovely image - different and unusual, and I think your presentation is superb.
(I tried to find it on the net with no luck - but bonus was I discovered my unknown blue upload of yesterday has a name :)She is Cerinthe(or Honeywort) )
LynEve - I was SURE you had this in your garden.. :)
This really is a great shot and I love the colors in it.I like your treatment of the edges too. I too, would like to know what this is - very unusual - but beautiful!

This shot just reminds me of how much I don't know about in the world. What fascinating petals on this beautiful flower! Nicely framed and presented, Randy!
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

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.

I thought for sure Digi would know what kind of flower this is or at least give it a name..go find Bryancito. He'll be able to tell you what kind of carnation this is. I gave this a 10 in the voting booth...it just blew me away, and I've been looking at flowers all day today at a home and garden show!!!
I think its an African Daisy, which I have one, and it looks just like what I have.. its an annual though.. very well done, I think it turnned out not so bad..
awesome looking thing!...purty colours on it too!...let me know what kind eh!
