I love the way the bud looks as if it is shrouded in a linen sheet readying to wake up

[moni kozi]

This bud looks so different from the ones I see in my garden. They don't have the linen shroud. You captured a terrific closeup

ooooh how good is this!

[Rob Z]

And I also love how it splits the background colours. :)

[Annie-Sue]

looks like an oil pastel - one of those that has a thread in its cover to expose more of the pigment stick

[FBailey]

Bedsheets is such a good description!

[Kathy]

The buds do sort of look swaddled.

[narayani]

They do look neatly wrapped

[Issi Bannerman]

It is beautifully shrouded.

[Tia]

Beautifully observed.

That bud is a glorious colour
