Buds, Blooms, and Birthday

This is another example of the bud being just as pretty as the bloom! The color (untouched), and the shape of the buds, look like icing on a cake! I'm fascinated with this because it's so beautiful in so many stages and the flowers are so delicate! I thought it was fitting today because it's my birthday! I'm 36.... (Sometimes I have trouble transposing numbers!)
