An orderly bunch of buds

The buds of a Cleopatra's needle flower head, ready to open, but not yet. In the extras an example of what the flowers look like when open :-)
For Flower Friday with thanks as always to Anni/BikerBear for hosting every Friday !

Thanks very much for the kind comments and stars for the twists and turns of one of the courgette flowers and for all the Abstract Thursday entries.
