My first one, I guess not as much of a flower shot. I have a tendency to focus more on insects. But I wont ignore the flowers either.
BTW, David where did you get that shot?

@Alex--wow, the contrast of the purple & orange is great!
Things have been coming along fairly well in the Phoenix area for the past few weeks. Nothing like last year, unfortunately, but still a pretty nice show. Here's one of my favorites from a recent outing:

(For what it's worth, my wildflower-tagged pics on Flickr ("http://www.flickr.com/photos/bisonwich/tags/wildflowers/) have many more personal favorites than I should post in this thread, including some from last year...)

This is a picture of some lillies that were planted in a median. I didn't know if that would be anyone's definition of a wildflower, but so be it.
f/4, 1/200 sec, iso 100, taken with 100mm macro lens.
