This flower sure looks like a blue butterfly right down to the pistil and sepals mimicking the antenna when viewed from the back. Easier to capture as they don't fly away

Very nice presentation! I like seeing both sides of this unusual flower...and its elegant form. Perfect dof. The slipper-shaped dark blue petal is wild.

Beuatiful capture Gary. The rear side capture of the one blossom shows your point very well. Makes me appreciate the wonder of God's and nature's creations.

What an interesting flower Gary, it really does look like a butterfly.
Nice job keeping both flowers in focus. The pedal of the right flower looks a little over saturated on my monitor. (All purple with no detail on one pedal), but otherwise everything else looks good. Nice job.
