That is funny. I don't think I've ever seen that before.

Who says mutation can't be funny? Those damned composites! Can't tell a disk flower from a ray flower. What is evolution coming to, anyway?

There's always one in every crowd that wants to "think outside the box"! (Actually we need those creative thinkers

). This is funny; that petal really got lost when it came time to find his place! Beautiful colors in this flower.

That petal definitely took a wrong turn somewhere! A very interesting flower and an excellent capture of it, Rick!
