Thank you! That is actually a bud... that hasn't bloomed yet. I will see if I can get a name for it... and post it.

Thanks Derrel, that was a unusual looking bud, so had to shoot it! lol! Thinking about maybe doing some focus stacking this weekend, if these haven't bloomed yet.

Awesome shots! Do you use a dedicated Macro lens or tubes?

Thanks! These shots were just a Nikon 105mm Macro lens, with diffused flash. I do have extension tubes, and a Raynox DCR-250 lens also... but did not use either of them here.

Awesome! Macro photography is something I'd love to get into more if I had the correct gear. I might see about getting a dedicated macro lens for my next purchase.

They're all purty ,but #2 is exceptional. I really need to work on some macro for a change.
