  1. it’s the most beautiful golden color!

  2. Reminds me of Shirley Temple – curly on the top. Very nice photo.

  3. That does look like a crown. Unusual blossom but very pretty.

      I’ve never seen a flower like this with a raised crown either, and the flowers weren’t ID’d in any way. And they were growing in the University’s arboretum…

  4. Perfect simplicity..and such stunning color!!!
