By serendipity I captured a black background which accentuates the brilliant white of the petals.

:) This is a wonderful, diverse community all connected by the love of nature. Some of us are lucky enough to actually meet each other and become friends off-line. I hope you enjoy your time here. You've got a great start with being friends with Ava!

Ken, Welcome! isn't Cindy as nice as I said? She's the real-life friend I made on this site.

Welcome to Project Noah, Ken! I love this endemic flower. Nice shot of it too. This particular species of Romneya is included in the CNPS Inventory of Rare and Endangered Plants. It would be a great addition to the Southern California Wildlife mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/7964554
