Transparent flowers

These autumn flowers were beautiful and transparent two weeks ago but now they have faded.
All feedback is welcome!

So delicate....it looks as though it might melt! Great shot...as usual!

@LESLIE: Thank you! This was the Grande Finale of this year's summer photos. After this it's gonna be black, grey and brown - till the snow comes.

I enjoy looking at it! Most of our flowers have gone too...

@Earnest: It's amazing that there's still a flower or two blooming. By the way - we had our first snow today and that's the beginning of the winter!
@Dawn: Nice comment, thank you!
