Wordless Wednesday

First, tiny buds appear.

Then they get a little color in them.

Next they get a little longer.

a little bit longer

getting closer to full bloom

dancing shoes

open, open, open

squeeeeeeeee!

another launch

torpedo ready

fire!

    They're like tiny gorgeous fireworks, aren't they? I love the shots with the light behind the leaf, showing its pink border.

      Thanks, Sue! I do love backlit flowers, showing the detail you don't see in headlights. :)

    Nice series! The buds and flower coming out of the cactus are so different.

      I think you're the first one to notice I was following two blossoms from start to middle, Monica! Thank you!
