Top 10 Photos: Flowers

In our fifth Top 10 Photos post, and in honor of the merry month of May, I wanted to do a search for off-the-beaten path photos of flowers. I found quite a few special images, but chose only ten of them for our Top 10 vote; I've not put these 10 in any particular order - that task is up to you. Use the survey at the end of the post to vote for your favorite photo. Thanks for voting and check back soon for another Top 10 Photos vote!
