I have seen these before, but the name escapes me. I like them though.

Nice job on the color and the detail. Not a big fan of the dead center bullseye with the flowers though. Trumpet vine.

Thanks for the ID and comments.

I know what you are saying about the flower being centered, unfortunately I centered it when I took the shot and I did not have much to work with, that picture is not cropped. Here I have cropped it and set it off center slightly.

try using the lasso with a 1 or 2 px feather around the petals and it should get rid of that little edge problem.

These are flowers from a trumpet vine. Bees and hummingbirds seem to like them.

I knew I had seen this before. We have a couple of them growing along a wall not 40 feed from the house. :)
