Little green buds, like punctuation marks, in front of blooms of American Beauty dahlia.

Great banner Elizabeth!

Here's the source image. I decided to try to make use of the green buds that were preventing unobstructed views of the blooms, and make them a feature of the banner shot.

My first thought when I saw the banner, was a comparison of the young green buds chattering..."that's what I want to grow up as a full beautiful blossoming dahlia". An admiration of a growing bud visualizing the eventual full blossoming. All resulting in a beautiful banner.
