Photo Hunt - Half

The theme for the week's Photo Hunt is half, After a little thought I present the very first Tumbling Ted (Saponaria ocymoides) of the year. At the time it was just half open

Wow, that is so beautiful. What a cool shot. I need to get on google and find out what a Tumbling Ted is. And I second Ewok - would love to see it in full bloom too.

Have a great weekend.
