Unknown flower

First time I have been able to get out the house for the past 4 weeks, and that was only for a short walk. Had to take the camera though as I have been suffering withdrawal symptoms

I've got absolutely no idea what the name of this flower is but I liked it so took a photo and thought I'd find out later.

Normally I do not centre an image but with this one I think it works, sort of

Re: Unknown flower

I have no idea what 'she' is called but I love the way it fills the whole frame.

Hope you are feeling better.

Re: Unknown flower

That is a lovely flower, well shot, do not know the name of the flower or the beetle.

Do hope you will be feeling stronger soon, take care though and don't rush the recovery.

Re: Unknown flower

Glad you got out for a bit, love this flower but not sure what it is either, My other half thinks it could be a variety of cornflower!
