A pink flower

I have no idea what kind of flower this is. It reminds me of a peony, but it was much smaller. And I think it's too early for peonies. Anyway, I like pink flowers. :-D

Pink flower with long stem. Yep, that's it. ;)

Doesn't matter the name, it's a beautiful photo of a beautiful flower.

Oh I love it! I love the pretty shade of pink and the white in it. The light seems to be hitting it just perfectly too!

Becky, love the way you caught the sun shining through the petals. It almost looks like a tulip, but can't tell without petals. I won't see "Lost" until tomorrow, and it's killing me!!!

It's such a pretty pink flower, pink is my favorite color!

LOST just started about 15 minutes ago, LOVE that show!!!

Beautiful. And if you had just made up a name for it, I would have believed you since I know pretty much nothing about flowers! I love to look at them, though!

I think it could be a type of tulip. It's simply gorgeous.

I think it's some type of tulip, don't you? I don't really have a freaking clue, but it sure is nice. The pink is so soft and delicate, just like the flower. My kids would see that, love it, and then totally destroy it in the next second trying to get a closer look.

That's a gorgeous shot of a gorgeous flower!

It is a very pretty flower, whatever it is. I love the shades of pink. I do think it is too early for peonies...at least mine are far from blooming in CT.

Shawna said...

Ohh I love how the sun seems to be just hitting the flower! Great focus and DOF!
