Beam Me Up Scottie [Photography Contest Flower Photos]
Uploaded: May 15, 2005 07:33:25
Shot Friday morning at Mercer Gardens. Didn't see an ID sign nor can I find these on their web site under what's in bloom so I guess they are just little red flowers that turn into stars? :0) I used the Canon 100mm f/2.8 macro lens.
