Special Favorite

Had an oppy to meet the founder of Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens, She is about 86 years young and still doing well. She indicated that this flower was her favorite in the entire botanical garden, I took about 20 shots from different angles and this is the one I chose.

Nikon D70s Nikon 70-300 EDIF lens at about 1:4.5 magnification
