Fading Flowers

Ah, fading flowers.  I understand that many folks don't like it when their flowers start to fade but I rather enjoy looking at flowers in all states of development.  I enjoy them right from the bud stage through the height of color to the fading and seedpod.  Here are a few pictures for you of fading flowers - just to show you that there's beauty there even if the "bloom is off the rose".
