Kitty- LOL at your title. One little beautiful flower and all them buds. And if they all open up as beautiful as this one, you are going to have a gorgeous flower bed with lots more floral images for us. That red is just dazzling. I especially love the way the buds are on the stem that is curved over. That makes for such a unique and beautiful design that really makes this one a winner. Fantastic, awesome, work my friend.Nikki McDonald May 20, 2010
