2011, Day 159 - Floral explosion

I like these flowers, I think I know what they're called but I can't remember right now.  Maybe when I do I will update this post (but I think that is unlikely).  What I like about their form it that their petal are really only there to frame the little florets that look to me like the explosion of fireworks but in the form of a flower.

And while I was out I found some Popos doing the nasty.  If she were still around my grandmother's response would almost certainly have been "oh dear."  Hehe, that was her response to almost everything shocking and often times it would be followed by a little chuckle.
