 The Latin name is the only one I know this flower by, so ... sorry to the people who hate Latin flower names ;-) Not quite in bloom yet, but graceful and pretty already.

Had the 20mm extension tube on.

PP - cropped, white balance, shifted greens greener and colored cyan highlights green, vignette, cloned onto some bright spots to de-emphasize them, resized, sharpened with noise reduction, hand-sharpened flower a bit more.
