Bring on the Sun

Brilliant blooms allow the weary wintered person hope that spring is just around the corner.  This bloom was proudly displaying it's bounty on July 4, 2012 in Flagstaff, AZ.  A bright and cheery yellow offers imaginations of a golden sun, dripping warmth from its intricately designed pedals.  As a winter sky opens the gates of snow, this bold yellow creates a day dream of spring.
