Pink Lady Slipper
I know it's a bit busy but I wanted to include the habitat and I'm a sucker for a sunburst.

That's a beautiful flower and a pretty awesome sunburst, Leann!

Interesting composition Leann. I like the sunburst. Good use of the fill flash for the tough lighting situation. Where was this taken?

Thanks guys-it was taken in the woods next to my house in Burke county NC. I have counted 12 blooms and many more plants with leaves only. My neighbor used to have some right along the driveway until he cut back some pine trees so I have the secret stash now :-)
