I shot this the day the Dreams Challenge ended, I really had not intended to enter as I was dissatisfied with my shots. Just seconds before the challenge ended I tossed this into PS, thought.... hmmm and shot it in with less editing than needed. I appreciate all the comments and suggestions, my highest scorer and a shot I am well pleased with. Now, it needs a bit of editing.

I like the colours in this shot, but I feel that the upper bloom looks a little too soft and perhaps a bit lost against the bright spots in the background. I feel also that the stamens appearing in the top right intrude a bit too much.
