Ring-a-ring-a-roses

I took a few photos of plants for this week's Macro Mondays theme "Patterns in Nature" and decided to post this one of a miniature rose because I liked the contrast of the pale petals against the darker background. I had a nice shot of a thistle bud, taken from above, but unfortunately it got a little lost against the vegetation in the background so I decided against posting it in the group.
