Joyce, this moonflower with the frog is a treasure. I grow daturas every year and well know the beauty of this flower. The little frog itself seems to wait on the opening of the bud. F/L
Joyce Dickens replied:
Hi Randy, I miss my Datura's as I have since moved and no longer get to enjoy them...I had many of them around the yard also - thanks for your lovely comment and the appreciation :-)

You caught the velvet of the leaves, and the little frog's coloring subtly blends in. f/l, Joyce.

Absolutely a marvelous macro capture of this cute little "kermit" on the large leaves of the moon flower, Joyce! I love the moon flowers mixed with morning glories, as when one closes, the other opens up. Nice daily routine created by mother nature to enthrall us with its beauty! Awesome imagery and fine composition. Got the big, "Elvis" F/V on this great piece!

Nice photo. Is this the unopened "Angel's Trumpet"? I also like to see a little close up of frog with the finished flower too. Voted my friend.
Joyce Dickens replied:
Hi Lingfai, yes it is.....thank you - I have one (and older one of a frog setting on the opened blossom - it is now at a traveling artshow somewhere in Texas.....I'll see if I can find a copy on my pc and upload it a bit later.....jd
