Thanks, Joëlle :-).  I did it the easy way... I plucked it out of my 
next-door neighbors yard (she passed away and her house is empty). 
Otherwise, I would have had to be practically underground to get this 
angle and I'm not a rutabaga so that just wouldn't have worked ;-)

Thanks,  Joëlle :-)  It's been  a few years, I wish they would sell her 
house.  It's becoming a wildlife refuge for bugs (even too many for me) 
;-)

Beautiful photograph.

I am sorry about your neighbour, but glad you made use of her flower.
If you were a 'baga, you'd be a very tall one, so making bending even harder 
:-)
