sea anemone zinnie

little garden wonders:

the next of the Zinnies is opening, one month after the first, and it does so in slow motion. this is how it looked yesterday, as if it wasn't sure yet if it should unfold into a petal, or remain curled up.

and maybe it's because i come from the ocean front, but the center part makes me think of sea-anemones (like this one).
