This one just towered above all the others - a real extrovert.

I agree with Hans: the progression from bud to flower makes this a very interesting picture. And the lighting is so pleasant -- these flowers have a nasty habit of reflecting too much sunshine right into the camera.

What a perfectly awesome presentation Terry. The vibrant color and clarity are just way beautiful and the clear blue just bring it out more. Excellent job, excellent capture and definitely a keeper. Thanks for this today.

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
Oh, she's a beauty. My grandmother used to grow these and I always loved them because they remind me of her. Thanks, Terry. Great composure for this shot for sure!

Never rebuke while you’re still indignant about a fault committed—wait until the next day, or even longer. Then calmly, and with a purer intention, make your reprimand. You’ll gain more by a friendly word than by a three-hour quarrel.
-Josemaria Escriva
I have to have you reread all the comments that came before me, because I feel the same way about this wonderful take, and all the marvelous details in it. I really enjoyed looking into the middle of the flower and seeing the ribs of color in the petals themselves. It adds so much to a post when it is as beautifully clear as this one. I also would add that the elements of the grades of development don't end with the glorious opened flower, but this plant is sending up even more new babies on top to restart the whole cycle...she may end up touching the sky !!!!! :)PJ

You do not have to thank me if I leave a comment on your image...unless you really want to. ..It is my pleasure to comment on your beautiful work.
She sure did and you captured her very well, Terry! - Patty

It's all about perspective and perception.
A truly fabulous shot Terry with it reaching for that blue sky. Very pretty flower.

Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for thereby some have entertained angels unawares
Breathtaking! Incredible color contrast between the blue sky and red flower. Perfectly sharp. Well framed. Outstanding Terry. anne :-)

Don't tell me it's good, tell me what is good about it. Don't tell me it stinks, tell me what I can do do improve it. Thank you for taking the time to tell me anything at all. Be blessed. anne :-)
A very proud stalk and regal flower with her lady-in-waiting ready to unfurl. Lovely colors set against a soft blue sky. Gorgeous :)
