I think they have been pretty strict, but, I live in the Washington, Dc metro area and we have not opened up most things as the rest of our country has. As a side note, many that opened are now reclosing.
The flowers are extraordinary and you hit the nail on the head, the complexities that are often overlooked. I am sure that can be said for many things, but, flowers? They are sometimes bred to fuse elaborate structures - but even the orchid is stunning without that. Your shots are awesome and thank you so much for sharing the beauty with #alwaysaflower.

It's a funny thing but up until recently I rarely took land based photos at all, my love is underwater photography but due to covid and the diving ban that came with it my eyes have been drawn elsewhere and i'm really enjoying the change.
I'm glad! Flowers have a way of making me deliriously happy.
Then I shall hunt down some more to snap some shots of:)
Oh!! That is simply delightful!
