I agree with the others; #2 is definitely my favorite. I love the details in the petals.

Very nice shots, Charrie. Looks quite colorful there. I think my favorite is number 4.

Thanks everyone! I would have loved to spend a week there planning out each and every shot but with so many people everywhere, it was hard to do any planning. Here's a few more I edited.

Yay - glad you liked it. Now you know why I love having a membership and living about 10 minutes away. Come back for Fall Blooms - it's not as over-the-top spectacular as the tulips, but it is also beautiful. Can't wait to see what you actually posted tonight (can't see what you posted on this computer).
