Memento mori, a long tradition in painting.

I liked it for several reasons.

It's interesting watching a flower from budding stage to dropping stage, and I find it all fascinating and beauty throughout.
Bit like the day, from before dawn to after dawn, rain, hail or shine.
There's beauty out there to behold.

My 2 bobs worth on it, but also in full recognition and acceptance of others differing views.
It'd be a dull old world if we were all stereotyped

Beautiful. Are they gerberas?
Really showy display.

Thanks Richard. Dunno? Yes, they're gerberas from Brizzy City botanic gardens. They weren't there 2 weeks ago so the council must plant mature flowering plants although you wouldn't know that they'd been transplanted as they looked that healthy.

Nice flower indeed.
Is it a Centaury? Centaurium...
Usually on poor soil, dry grassland, on dunes & at edges of woods...

Got that from a book of dads. Not from my expertise
