Nicely captured. You haiku is perfect because this does look like a packed parachute, ready to deploy.

Love the satiny texture and deep red of this gorgeous bud. It looks like it would feel silky if you touched it. Beautiful image and haiku. V.

Love the photo...and so expressive of the haiku, when you consider the paper-like texture of those petals. :-)
