Went out Sunday and tried getting a few for the challenge, struck out with bugs at my favorite place but worked on flowers ... did notice this weekend is the unnofficial start of summer ... almost melted out there and couldn't stay long !!! This is the inside of some sort of flower

Hey Al,
I really like the way the spikey things ground the image and then lead up with the flow of the color. The spikes stand out very nicely against the darker BG too. Luckily for me...we only made it to the upper 80's today!
It's been really warm in the Midwest, too but at least we don't usually have the humidity that you all do! Love the explosion of color, Al. You did a great job keeping the oranges in check. I do think a slight shift to the right would have cut down on the OOF area to the left of the frame (LLC) but I still like the image as is.
