Once I pulled it up on the screen, it just kind of jumped off the screen and screamed at me really loudly. I could not make it stop or do anything to make it less erectile.
The most beautiful thing in the Universe. It's not a phallic symbol and it's not a swirl. It's a 3D spiral, the epitome of fractal law (the mathematical law in physics which guides anything organic to grow), the most ancient human symbol (since prehistorical times). The glory of our Maker, if you're a believer.
Erm, that's different! Your comment list is working backwards! And I, you know - ultra observant me, go down the list step by step clicking 'Load more comments' thinking to myself 'At some point I'm going to reach a box down the bottom!' until, eventually... DOH! Wha'sit doing up here?
Now, about your post... Erm... I've forgotten the question.
Isn't nature magnificent? I'm sure you don't have the same problem I have (so many pictures you haven't even looked at most of them since the day you took snapped 'em). ::snort::
Both ;-) Gorgeous work. Morning glories are very special to me. My volunteer indigo ones who showed up one year and now are all over used to be my avatar when I first started Life is Good.

ReplyDelete=)
I don't know which one. All I know is that it's beautifull :) Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your Sunday!
ReplyDeleteOh My! - Well I'm voting for Gorgeous (it's the safer choice) and it really is a lovely bud.
ReplyDeleteTHey are all lovely but I think I like the "cropped" the most. Such a beautiful spiral.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I loved the striping.
ReplyDeleteOnce I pulled it up on the screen, it just kind of jumped off the screen and screamed at me really loudly. I could not make it stop or do anything to make it less erectile.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sue. Either way, I really liked it too.
ReplyDeleteIt's always better to err on the side of caution around here.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
ReplyDeleteRight back atcha!
ReplyDeleteThank you Saun.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much.
ReplyDeleteOh, me too Maia. Me too.
ReplyDeleteÉ uma flor muito bonita. Amei as fotos!
ReplyDeleteI think it looks twisted--in a really cool way!
ReplyDeletearen't flowers the "sex" organs of plants? the whole attraction and pollination thing ??... and yes, a bit of both, and beautiful at the same time
ReplyDeleteJust plain gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHmmm . . . I say the flower's phallic and you're slightly twisted!
ReplyDeleteExcelentes macros de bela flor....
ReplyDeleteCumprimentos
I LOVE Morning Glories, but they are SO invasive! Lovely shot! Thanks for coming by 'The View From Right Here' for a visit... ;-)

ReplyDeleteHa! At least someone's been paying attention. ::snort::
ReplyDeleteThanks Terra.

ReplyDeleteNow, about your post... Erm... I've forgotten the question.
Whichever it is, I suspect it was a gorgeous purple when it opened! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat! How'd that ^ ^ happen?
ReplyDeleteSorry for the confusion. Playing around with new technology. This is what it looked like wide open.
ReplyDeleteThank you Tatjana. After playing around with it, I found I liked that last one too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Eden.
ReplyDeleteIt is all that, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteFrom early spring until late fall, I'm plucking the new plants before they can get big enough to strangle my ever-blooming rose.
ReplyDeleteAha! Are you a closet botanist? It's all just pistils and stamens to me.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cheryl. I hadn't noticed until I pulled it up on the screen. (Yes, I have way too many photos.)
ReplyDeleteIsn't nature magnificent? I'm sure you don't have the same problem I have (so many pictures you haven't even looked at most of them since the day you took snapped 'em). ::snort::
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeletea beautiful bud. .)
