A valid crit to be sure. These fellows are tiny, just a penny in diameter 
and maybe five inches tall.  You can imagine the challenge they present me 
with my mass and various disabilities.  Last year I cheated and scanned them!
 All that said, I quite liked the oof portion of the program as the pine 
straw gave a warm anchor against the brilliant yellow.  But I adore the 
copper lily and wish I could shoot them for days instead of the one day they 
are usually here.
