I thought I would throw this one in the mix because of it's Christmas colors combination. The scarlet gilia or skyrocket is one of my favorite wildflowers. I liked how the one top bloom is reaching for the sky and light.

Comments and critiques always welcome, and thanks for looking,

Morris

I remember this one, Morris. Looks like Fireworks to me - dark background helps

Morris, this is one of my favorite wildflowers, too. They are very difficult to photograph. You really nailed this one! Fantastic image, from top to bottom!

Delightful image, Morris. I agree about the topmost flower - it's beautifully caught against the black bg. Can see why this is one of your favourite flowers.
