I've no idea what this flower is but the pinched ends to the petals caught my eye.

I really like this one. Excellent color saturation and sharpness and you didn't loose the detail in the whites, either. Nice composition, too. Two thumbs up!

Thanks very much. I feel I've got to look for a point of difference in the subject to even begin to compete with the flower experts on this forum!

Well you certainly got it right. Good eye for detail, noticing the pinches petals, and then nice framing to present them to viewers.

That's an African Spooned Daisy.

Last time I had some, I was still shooting K200. It's a hard flower to find.

Thanks for that information. I would have been a long time on Google with nowhere to start! Judging by your fine example there's obviously a few different varieties.
