Wow! This is a stunning bloom love all the vivd brilliant shades of pink and you have captured it beautifully. Your focus is sharp and clear, beautiful is the veining on this flower and the gorgeous stamen. Your framing is perfect and photo well composed. Thanks for the good artists notes and storytelling. Your artistic background accentuates this flower nicely. This is very nice work and thanks for sharing these beautiful blooms.

    I always so disliked them referring to it as 'Ragged' Mary Lynn so took extra care to show how lovely this flower actually is. Thank you so much for noticing and for the really wonderful review you've given it. Always happy to see YOU at the end of a review.

This looks Super Cool,Deb!
The supposedly 'Ragged' look ( which somehow puts me in mind of the appearance of certain highly specialized & exotic armored dinosaurs! ) is what I like the best about it!
'Good Show'? OUTSTANDING Show !

I like the color of these flowers. The close up shot captured the details nicely. The background color completes the photo.

Those shades of purple and a little green look outstanding on the dark background. It seems to glow, the petals like flames going in different direction blown by the wind before they are distinguish in the background. I have to check on this flower. I wonder if the would survive the desert conditions of the Texas hills.

    I always so disliked that they called this pretty little flower 'ragged' Cleo so took extra care to show how pretty it actually is.....and I just LOVE it that I've tempted you to want to add it to your gardens. It also has the most marvelous seed capsule once the blossom is gone.....a tiny burgundy capsule. You should definitely try it at your place. I bet it would do fine. You'll have to let me know if you do.

    Always enjoy seeing what you think about one of my flowers so thank you so much for checking out this little guy and giving it such a lovely review. I do really appreciate it.

    I will have to look out for the seeds. I let you know when I find them. :o)

    or starts Cleo if you have a good Garden Center around you .....I have a friend who runs one using mostly Heritage Seeds....that's where I find many of my less common and unusual flowers. This season I am going to collect the seed pods off these guys. I'll let you know if I get lots of seeds and I'd be happy to share some w/ you if I do.
reply by cleo85 on 28-May-2017
    Oh, that would be wonderful. If you get seeds from them.
    I was in two Garden Centers so far but they did not have seeds our starts. I will go to the Botanical Garden soon I find the time. They sell seeds and sometimes starts.

    Oh if I get seeds you'll get some too Cleo so fingers crossed.

Ragged Robyn, another beautiful flower in your garden. And I do not blame you, I would also add one because of a unique name! Vibrant colors, great detail, exposure and crop. Very nice!

I have never heard of this beautiful flower although it does have a familiar look to it. A beautiful shot with very fine detail in the blossom and outstanding color.

    I've always disliked this little flower being called 'ragged' mm so took extra care to show how pretty it actually is. So pleased you agree! It also has the most fascinating little burgundy seed capsule once the blossom is gone. A really under appreciated little flower! Always look forward to you checking out my pieces so thank you so much for having a look at this one and for giving it such a wonderful review.
