Hi Mary!
That certainly is an attractive Early Springtime type of photo,my friend!
It's a very enjoyable picture to look at on this unusually warm late summer day here in the northern hemisphere! : D

As if saying "Good morning sunshine!"
A vibrant cute bud spotlighted aesthetically.
Still looks premature to be appreciated for her being a flower!
An interesting initial impact. Harmonious colors. Nice perspective & narrow DOF. Excellent lighting, focusing & framing. Thanks for sharing...
