Thanks for taking a look Jim.

These blooms measure about 6mm in diameter.
They hang at the bottom end of two foot tendrils from a hanging basket.
The basket is in constant motion; with the slightest breeze
further blowing the ends in complex patterns.
Given magnification, motion, time to work the scene,
I enjoy the plane of focus and oof petals and the overall composition.
Not a great photograph - though a pleasant visual memory
of my time with the subject.
