I've just noticed something - some flowers are five "lobed", whilst others have six!
This is a composite photo that I put together to demonstrate this.

LOL....-29C. Sunrise 10:30am; Sunset, 3:30pm. I'm looking at the snow shots and wishing it were that warm. :-)

LOL you two!! True though Meanie, it is 'sobering' when you realise that other places have arctic weather EVERY winter! GT, here in Angus, Scotland we had-9 today. Don't ask me how cold overnight, I don't want to know! They are saying it may reach 0 on Friday! Now, Meanie, this reminds me of my clematis!..yes, I know, not an obvious comparison, but clematis do this as well. Some flowers having 5 sepals, some six, some seven....I find that interesting!

Greenthumb - the cold is supposed to have gone by the end of the week......then back again early next week!
Karen - there seem to be quite a few like this on Flickr, so maybe it's "normal". It's a climber like Clematis, so they have a couple of things in common!
Amy - could it be that you're on to something!
