Pretty flower picture of the day

About a decade ago, we bought a weedy, but very pretty, perennial flower at a Planned Parenthood garden party event, which we then planted in one of the wilder stretches of our side yard. It’s been hanging on since then, putting up 18-24 inch flower stalks and 2-3 flowers a year. This year, for some reason, it decided that this was the season to grow 4 feet tall and flower like there was no tomorrow.

So I shot it.

55mm Super-Tak, f16 @ 1/180th sec, built-in flash (at full power, of course, since the *istDS won’t do TTL with the built-in flash.)
