The ways of nature are sometimes freakish - whether with flowers, animals or humans. This dahlia looks as though it has been painted by an artist who didn't finish the job.
I think you finished it for him by presenting its beauty to us Raj. A great shot of a unusual colored flower. It looks like it has beads or bb's in the center. Good F² post.
Raj, it's very positive that you are able to upload again. Hope that the eye-operation was successful.
Suppose the 'painter' has quit painting because some bills weren't paid, lol.
Wonderful F² dahlia post again my friend!
Regards, Cornelius.
