Lasting and Lovely

and not perfect.  I would like to say that I grew this from a seed and it has blossomed nicely. Actually, it is a couple of months old, and I purchased it at Costco.... but I water it religiously.   I have had it inside but I took it outside today to get a picture.  It was somewhat windy.  It's not Friday, but any day is a good day to photograph a flower...  I think.
