The bud
and the blossom.
Another bud bursting
and one starting to flower.
That should be enough rudbeckia photos, so let’s move on to something different. Below is a yellow coreopsis with a copper/bronze colored blow fly. Hindsight: I probably could have gotten by without telling you the colors of the flower and fly.
At first I thought for sure that this was a cosmos bud, but with all that yellow showing through there’s probably a better chance it’s a coreopsis bud.
Oops! Seems like there is one of those pesky rudbeckias still floating around.
Thank you for stopping by.

Fabulous close-ups, David. Those tightly furled buds are pretty neat!

The best thing about shooting flowers is that you can always expect extras, bug, flies and such. Another nice set David.

You’re right and sometimes (a lot for me) they show up unexpectedly. 🙂
