(89,308 posts)Is that a zinnia? The camouflage effect is really remarkable - whatever kind of flower that is.
Just totally remarkable, Solly Mack!
ALL of these are terrific shots, btw. Thank you for posting them so we can enjoy the eye-feast!

(96,650 posts)Yes, that's a zinnia. I grow a patch every year because I love them.
