A COVEY OF SPRING MISSiLES

"A Covey of Spring Missiles" (4-13-18 024v2) was just taken two days ago and fussed with this morning. Not exactly over the moon about it (some missiles don't go very far, do they?), but I'm so fond of these blossoms and their rather phallic early stage shapes I'm posting the pic anyway. I also really enjoy their fully open state, like bright colored trumpets in the sunlight. In fact, when I walked back this same way maybe an hour later that largest blossom had begun to unfurl its trumpet petal shape. I'd've taken a shot but the deepening shadows made even the slim chance of it coming out highly doubtful. And it was an extremely high-wind day ... hey, you try to keep your walker and baseball cap from blowing away as you balance precariously on arthritic knees, and all while trying to assess, frame, and snap a pic! Who's an octopus?
