Gott in Himmel! You had me going there: Steve has baked an incredible pie - how did he get those little holes just so, and the blueberries each in one... Awfully glad I can read. Double Take, brilliant Double Take, colours perfect. (Actually 6 and 20; wouldn't mention it except I was following the patterns - 3 in centre, 9 surrounding, 14 outside - looks regular but isn't quite).
ETA: just read Double Take description; how disappointing: I like my take on it so much better.

Orange Puffs

Think this works better than tighter crop because of your focus on the centre unopened buds - they have more to emerge from. Again, not my favourite flower but you have shown their beautiful colour and form - I sort of want to scrunch them into my face and smell their pungent clean scent.

Yes, a white one, in its 2nd or 3rd year. We'll see how it does; I think they have minds of their own, laissez faire or other. (Is there an other?)

Great tones and texture. That is some smile/smirk. Clever clever title.

Ha. This occupies a rare and rarefied niche in photography. I mean delightfully done.

Yikes. Must have been a shock all around.

Wrote you a great comment on this last night, but must have failed to hit Post, unless you didn't agree and had it removed. Love green and white, and all the forms in this formaceous plant, the tight geometry of the buds-in-waiting, and the surprising shirring of the about-to-be-lady's dress. (Not quite what I wrote, but I did say you were bad not to name this plant, either in Latin, Greek or Jabberwockian, or even Sendakian. If you remedy this, maybe the plants themselves will forgive you and let you find your eyepiece).

Love the flow and curves, and the rich and soft background; as well, the centre beige textured raison d'etre is beige - did I say beige? - but it works. Like this a lot.
