I don't know what this one is. Most similar flowers I can find are called fire pinks but those have 5 petals.
Description: Chimpanzee Enos pictured wearing a space suit and lying in his flight couch as a handler holds his hands. He is being prepared for insertion into the Mercury-Atlas 5 capsule.
Enos became the first chimp to orbit the earth on November 29, 1961, aboard a Mercury Atlas rocket. Although the mission plan originally called for three orbits, due to a malfunctioning thruster and other technical difficulties, flight controllers were forced to terminate Enos' flight after two orbits. Enos landed in the recovery area and was picked up 75 minutes after splashdown. He was found to be in good overall condition and both he and the Mercury spacecraft performed well. His mission concluded the testing for a human orbital flight, achieved by John Glenn on February 20, 1962. Enos died at Holloman Air Force Base of a non-space related case of dysentery 11 months after his flight.

For Self Portrait Challenge -- 'Mirrors' -- Final week for this theme.
This is another case where an item that I've driven by hundreds or even thousands of times never really jumped out at me until I had a challenge theme that forced me to look for it and take notice.
As soon as I saw it, though, I knew this had to be used in my self-portrait this week.
If there are any non-SPC folks out there who actually browse SPC photos from other contributors, you might want to make a note that the SPC blog site will be dormant for a few months as its creator takes a much-needed break from the site so that she can focus on other projects.
I have created a new group on Flickr, Self Portrait Challenge which will continue the goings on of the community under a slightly different format which is still being hammered out. Until further notice, if you're interested in seeing the many creative and varied interpretations of the monthly themes by all of the contributors, the Flickr group is the place to do it.
