This is one flower I can identify. It brings to mind those who served and died for freedom and those who are still doing it for us.

You might want to take a look at reducing the color saturation -- it obviously won't be as red, but you'll be able to see a lot more detail in the flower.

Interesting, never heard of that meaning for that particular flower before, but maybe it was used before the 70's. Nice photo.

WOW...this looks stunning on full screen. I agree with you about the reminder of sacrifices that have been, and still continue to be made in the name of Freedom. Your image captures the fragility of this beautiful flower, and serves as a reminder of the fragility of life itself. Thank you...into my favs with appreciation...Jacquie
