Description
Help, somebody!
These flaming beauties, captured in May of 2006, were in the flower bed growing along with my previously posted Sweet William blooms, so I don't know if they are another variety of the Sweet William, or perhaps a Dahlia, or even a species from another planet. Beyond my ken, in effect.
And, the petals remind me of candy corn.
Other than that, have a nice day.

I can't be certain without looking at the attached leaves, but my initial impression is marigolds. If not then they must be Venusian Fire Flowers, with petals of flame! Gorgeous shot, Harry!

Whenever I see people guess what flowers they're viewing (above), I want to make something up---"It's a lapidetrae chelamoniun, also known as a Queen Agnes, originating in low sooty soils, brought to American in 1748..." (If ya don't know it, make it up, I always say...) Whatever specie these are, they're another of your on-fire flower captures. They look almost like flame. And your almost-flat capture of the front-most bloom looks like it's painted! It's so bold. You've really brought out the inner life of these blasting beasts, they look like flame bursting out of a garden. "Marigold" was named after the virgin Mary; I doubt she'd want to be seen looking this bright! ("Mom," says her son: "You wanna tone it down a bit?") Eye-popping capture. Real flower blasts!
