This is a form of Clematis- I could not think of a title so went with how it made me feel...Helter Skelter means chaos or confusion (remember the movie-OMG)

Love the DOF on this one, like the detail of the flower, reminds me of hair on a windy day. Almost missed the spider/bug on the flower cause I was caught up by the flow of the petals. Nice Capture.

Ah, there's the quiet little surprise of the winged visitor! Exceptional detail, good use of DOF, and I really like the more unusual subject. The bokeh behind is perfect to set off the wispy nature of your subject. Nicely done!

crazy bloom with a little critter..clean image Pat! I suspect it wasn't "floral" enough for this tough crowd :)

Oh cool, if this is how clematis go to seed, I'm a get me some! Interesting subject, nifty bokeh and great title too (I just saw that song performed by one of the guys who wrote it ;-)

Does look a bit wild and crazy ;-) That fly better be holding on tight! I like the sense of movement in the background shapes, like the flower was dancing.

Looks like a windy shot. Nice detail in the flower head. The insect to me is an added bonus.

That's pretty cool looking. Looks like a pasque flower or clematis gone to seed. I've seen and photographed them in our botanical gardens.
