Roy, that has to be one of the most unusual "flowers" I've ever seen. I can't tell if the foliage (leaves) around it is from that plant.

Roy- it's interesting because the other day Larry and I were out somewhere and we couldn't stop staring at these beautiful colors.

Wow, that is quite a "flower", Roy.  How's the snow situation?  Hope you and Dolores are warm and safe.

Ron Marshall - We were lucky on this round and have only a couple of inches of ice and snow. It is cold and schools are closed today in Montgomery County, Maryland.

Hi, Roy...that's a very interesting flower. Today was another spring like day, but I guess we have rain coming in. We really need snow, but any kind of moisture is good. These warms days have me thinking of spring and gardening.
