Today I have another beauty form my garden to share. I love having a closer look at each flower as it opens, a treat afforded to me by digital photography.

| Thursday |
We've had a few pink petunia flowers open on the little seedlings, so with anticipation I have been waiting for this deep purple bud to unfold. Early morning two days ago this is how it looked. I thought it was going to open that morning, but it didn't. It stayed looking like this all day.

| Friday 8am |
Then yesterday morning the action began. Both the photo above and below were taken around 8am.

The photo above, just an hour later. Notice the pollen-containing anthers are just beginning to open.
|
| Friday 12 noon |
Another three hours later and pollen is spilling everywhere. The flower is more of a crimson/pink than purple, very lovely and appearing to change according to the light.
 |
| Friday 5pm |
Another view and a new bud with a beauty of it's own.
 |
| Saturday 12 noon |
Still looking gorgeous in today's sunshine. Such a huge flower for a tiny plant.

| Saturday 12 noon |
And to finish, a favourite from 12 noon today. I am amazed at the intricate beauty God puts within every small flower, just glorious.
