Two days ago, I posted a photo of a closed up flower. I had several comments of wishing to see what it looked like when it opened. Well, I went out with my iPhone and macro lens, and took a photo of it opened. I also checked on the progress of my Nikon, and it is currently in repair, so I am hoping it will be back before I have a visit from a blogger friend on Friday.
