Amazing - never looked at a milkweed flower this close before - menacing looking little thing up close.

What a design and color. They look like little marzipan flowers. Great macro Bill.

Bill, that is a beautiful photo. I recently discovered one of these and you beat me out with the posting.... Yours is much more highly colored that the one I got and it is an unusual find around here with other milkweeds dominating... well... maybe with a little processing magic I can get closer to this excellent rendition... :)
