This is a blue fiesta flower happily blooming at one of our local nature preserves. I took this picture of it five years ago and it's been waiting ever since for its moment in the spotlight. It just goes to show that good things come to those who wait.
I love that area. nice photo. Pretty color.
These floral portraits are always favorites of mine; entire gardens have a sumptuous appearance, but seeing these close-ups of individual blooms showcases their particular beauty.
