Rose bud

I'm very interested to see the developing stages of the Rose, this photo is of an opening bud.

Best viewed large.

I took photos of the flower as it opens, fades, petals falling and the rose hip.
I'm going to try and put all this in a Blipfolio - never done this before, so may take me sometime. Pop back and have a look if you can, all of your comments are welcomed.
