Taking a Break ...


... from red for a moment, here's a Platycodon Grandiflorus aka Balloon Flower. Unfortunately, we did not get a shot of the "balloon" stage, which occurs right before the flower bud opens. [Yes, yes, it looks just like a little white balloon, not much bigger than the tip of a finger. Yawn.] But check out the smooth, white simplicity of the open flower.
