Capturing several beautiful blooms in this bush, all of the stages of bloom.

I got this bud as it opened.

Then the flower before it is fully open.

...and finally the fully opened bee pleaser for those interested in pollen. Eye candy for those who appreciate nature and its beauty. I am not sure if this makes a difference to you, but I decided not to crop these or use any filters on them. I really want you to see what I saw in all its glory.
