It is that time of year when these monstrous flowers begin to bloom on the Great Plains. Most of the fields I found this morning weren’t quite ready for prime time but should be soon. Playing with a new camera and had some technical difficulty (okay, operator error) for most of my shots but this was a good closeup.
