Photographer’s Notes • My wife is a member of a local garden club. The club puts on an annual garden tour to raise funds. Members get a private tour Thursday evening before the public tour on Saturday. I took this during our private tour last evening.
• Obviously this was too late for the Flowers Challenge. But maybe you all have a sense of humor! Enjoy.

Great job in making the thorns stand out. I think it might be better without the leaves; I find both their shape and slightly different green a bit of distraction.
