Flower

I have been focusing on the ?grand view? lately and have kind of ignored taking photos of the details as I normally do. When we changed homes a week ago, we moved into a place that had a garden with many varieties of flowers. My wife, being the gardener she is, went crazy pointing out this and that as we sit with our morning coffee. It must have rubbed off as today I noticed this unusual blossom as I was heading home from the beach. I shot a variety of photos in an attempt to isolate the flower against a background that would show it off in the most flattering manner.
