Bloom

Posted by Shrigley Photography (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States) on 13 September 2007 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

Hello!

This is the flower a few days later (before the cat decided to nibble on it for snack time).

I'm not sure what kind of flower it is. I thought it was a Mum of some kind, but it doesn't seem to fit the profile. If anyone knows, don't be afraid to speak up :)

Until Tomorrow...
