Description
Captured 4/1/07 at the beautiful Descanso Gardens at the foot of the beautiful San Gabriel Mountains in beautiful LaCanada/Flintridge, California.
In any event, I like the subtle transition of very light to moderate dark in this macro.
Thanks for the visit, and have a wonderful Easter/Passover.

Very nice photo!
Not sure what kind it is but it is very pretty.
Can't explain it, but as soon as I seen this I knew it was yours! Fabulous capture, it looks so perfect and what colors huh? Nice work for sure!!
I believe It is a Camellia. Their petals are one of the major componets of Camomille Tea.
My best guess - a peonie. And camellias do not work well in tea. Camomille tea is from the camomille plant which I love to grow but it spreads faster and wider than mint plant in the garden. (They also tend to have lavender or off-pink blooms on stalks and resemble a bell or trumpet-type flower...small) I had to hire 2 young men to spend 3 days digging mine out when it got out of control. Very nice shot. Oh, and your idea that I get a hazmat suit really bares merit! :-)
Very beautiful image!
Excellent capture!! Roby ;O)
LOL...where is PJ when we need her, she so good at identify flowers...my guess is camelia, I have it in white with a very similar petals arrangment. Either way cool strong yellow right into our face.
Hi Harry, Great shot, I don't know much about flowers, but it looks like a Renuncula to me. Sharon
magnolia or wisteria. I doubt if it's an iris or lilac--well none of these. Mrs Lubner is probably correct.beautiful flower no matter the name
this is so lovely yellow flower here
It's a ranunculus. (Habanerobabe is correct.) I don't know what visitor's guide you got ahold of, but boy, did they steer you wrong! None of the plants you listed is even close. Regardless . . . your shot is fabulous! Beautiful capture, and the light is perfect.
bright and beautiful so cheerful!! Happy Easter to you!
Oh yes, so beautiful flower and excellent composition and color my friend !!! Good day and hugs :)
