pierced rose petals

Sorry for the 3 or 4 day absence, my family and I have been down near Ubobo staying at a friend's farm down there. Anyway I think my sisters had put these pierced these rose petals on a type of spiky plant, so I took a photo of it. Not sure whether I like the colours, but you can decide that :-).
This photo was taken on Tuesday 27th May 2008 at 10:49:00 AM, with an exposure time of 1/250 of a second and a f-number of 4.8.
