Dahlia bud by Helen Betts

I've been watching this bud, which just started opening late yesterday. Interesting how the open petals seem to change color.

Absolutely beautiful! Nice sharp detail in the flower center transitioning perfectly to the soft, dreamy outer petals. Outstanding work, Helen! ~BV~

This is amazing with floral flames shooting from the golden center. ~v~
