Flower Friday - Goldilocks

I went early to the Rose Garden this morning to try and beat the breeze - but it beat me to it. Fortunately I found a clematis tucked into a sheltered corner and it wasn't swaying around too much. I loved the way the sun had lit up this flower that had shed its petals.

In the extras is a flower from the same clematis that still has its petals - so you can see what it was like before petal fall. It is a pretty one.
