Very appealing. A most unusual looking blossom - pretzel-like. Doesn't look like periwinkles I'm familiar with. Is it a bud just opening? Anyway, a terrific photo!

Works well as presented to me with that fantastic spiral :toast:

Gary: The prior shot is a really tough act to follow but this is nice. I especially like the shape of the petals and the colors. Well done.>=))>

Gary, at this this stage it reminds me of a celtic knot. Nice DOF choice to only have the front plane in focus.

A wonderful early Christmas, Gary. I'd never have known the flower was the same.

Nice job.

Very striking! Beautiful And Unusual. I have never seen a periwinkle shaped like this before.

I think you may want to call it "Celtic Knot", because that is what the shape looks like to me.
