Check it, ya'll. A big pretty flower. I grew it myself!

The stalk is about 2 feet long, and I am concerned that at some point soon it will realize that it is absurdly top-heavy, and the whole thing will topple over in the night.
The sky really was that color this morning, and the snow really was that blinding. "Hey," you might say, "isn't that what white balance is for?" Hmmph, I say. Go tell it to Ansel Adams.
