Comment from Malmax
Susan, what a great and rare find. I don't think I've ever seen this before, it's so different, unexpected and unique.
Excellent capture and well presented in the shadow. I think it gives a very clear picture of what's going on. Thanks for sharing this rare capture.

Oh that would lovely!! I hope to see it!!

Comment from suzannethompson2
Great close up, Susan, showing this unusual occurrence with the bud seemingly coming up through the centre of the pretty white Rose. I like that you left in the natural leaves as a background, almost looking as if this is a rare bird in a nest. Very good lighting and focus showing excellent detail. Very interesting composition.

Comment from Linda Wetzel
This is such an interesting and unusual phenomenon. It creates such an unusual looking flower. I hope the bottom flower lasts until the bud blooms so we get the double view.

Comment from Dick Lee Shia
I firmly agree!
Excellent choice of a floral subject.
A rare find!
Filtered reflected illumination.
Verdant overtone!
Sharply focused.
Fine features & textures.

Nice perspective & narrow DOF.

Thanks for sharing...

This is so interesting to view, I like the white petals on this Wild Rose, the bud growing from its center is such an interesting sight, this is well focused, clear to view, well exposed, the 5 white petals show good detail, it stands out nicely from its supporting greenery.once the bud opens it will be a double rose! Well presented!

interesting capture of this strange growing flower, but in order to really see it you should have shot it closer, all the green stuff round it does not helps

thanks for sharing

this one of course is much better; good lighting with sharp focus and excellent exposure for the white;
I hope you'll find the explanation for this phenomenon;

A curious phenomenon unlike any I have ever seen. I like the straight forward presentation with its great detail and beautiful colors that show the subject to great advantage.
