L-O-V-E-L-Y floral image, Bill!! The details, selective focus, colours, lighting AND composition here are all WONDERFUL!! :o)

Like Paul E, my first thought was that these are gladioli/gladiolus buds!! They really are the most GORGEOUS flowers once they fully bloom!! :o)

Phil and I trust that you and Brenda are having a GREAT week!! :o) #4753709
