    Default Beware the floof!

    Actually this is only medium floofy, so more of a "yellow alert" situation.

    Otaara Krullsmith 'Riverbend'. The color is fairly accurate in the photo. SLR cameras still seem to do a better job at capturing the difficult colors like reds & purples but digitals are so convenient. Course doesn't help matters that it's one of those satiny textured flowers ... makes getting a decent picture a bit more difficult.
