I totally agree wth you Fred, but that is the name it was given. Thanks a lot for the lovely review.

Comment from helvi2
Love the title and definitely the image. This creamy beauty is made even more gorgeous with the beautiful touches you gave it! Look like you actually have dragon fly wings making up the leaves. You created some lovely eye candy with your incredible skills. Focus and lighting are superb! Sadly I'm out of sixes! :o) Nancy

Holy cow, what a remarkable photo of a dahlia. I like that you used the rule of thirds. By softening the background this flower really pops/

Beautiful. Love these flowers.

The colour is so soft and pretty. The flower looks like it has dragonfly leaves. Amazing.

Such a lovely photo. Thanks for sharing.
