Stages Of Life......

Some stages in the life of a flower are more beautiful than others, but I find all of the stages interesting and the presence of visitors and/or pareidolia just adds to its attraction for me.  My editing program also was uncooperative today, refusing to put the same green borders on all three shots in the collage and I have already spent far too much time trying to get it to do that, so I am giving up, so I can get my Flower Friday blip posted!  Thanks to Biker Bear for hosting.....
