Thanks for the comments. You are on target with soft & etherial. My
wife tells me the flower is a ranuncula (ra-nun-cu-la?) and you've got
the colors right. Quite unusual colors on a 3-4 inch globe shaped
flower bud from the Illinois Botanic Gardens in Highland Park.
I think a single flower is a ranunculus - is ranuncula the plural?
We grow a few of these here every year and they come in all sorts of
different colours. They make great photographic subjects.
Here's one of mine:

BTW I liked your photos (I especially like shallow DOF in macro
shots) but they do look a little dark.
