Macro Mystery.............See Update Below

Let's have a little fun! The following are common blooms I am sure you would recognize in a heartbeat, but macro-size 'em, and they just may stump you.... So...in no particular order, leave me a comment and identify as many as you can.

And no peeking at previous comments!

No need to get technical...common names are fine.

But don't be sassy and say 'pink flower'...!

This one is WAY easy but I love the texture!

Okay, no mystery here, just a very happy mom who got to see her baby this past weekend at college. Weather could have been better but her bright smile was sunshine enough for me!

So give it your best shot, guys! I'll announce the 'winner' in the next post!

Have fun and Good Luck!

UPDATE: And the WINNER is...drum roll please....Mr_Subjunctive!

Of the 12 in question...8 were correct!

Then a 4-way tie with Catherine, Tina, Lona and Wendy...each with 7 correct answers :)

Even our author friend, Chuck, took a stab and was 100% on his one guess...lol!

So here's the reveal:

Morning glory

Plumes of a red smoke bush

Magnolia

Crimped edge of a daylily

Campanula (balloon flower)

Gazania

Purple ornamental cabbage(kale).

Most of you guessed coleus on this one and I bet I would have, too!

Beauty berry

Dahlia

Tricyrtis (toad lily)

Viola

Iris

I'm glad you had a little fun with this post....thanks again for playing!!
