WOW!!! I'm speechless. I don't know if all the words above have said it all or if it is that there are simply no words to describe this BEAUTY. Anyway, I must admit that although I've spent so much time with flowers and thought I had learned the language they had taught me, looking at your beautiful photograph I realize there are so many other languages I have yet to learn.Julianne Bradford March 30, 2010
