Acanthus

Oh, wonderfully and very well done...

superbes hampes

Wonderful floral close-up; great DOF.

A great game with sharpness/unsharpness, Keith ! Fine picture !

I love everything

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! So beautiful, Keith! LOVE the dof and flowery bokeh! What a nice find. Isn't it fun to play with DOF? I expect you do this too...I will take a number of pictures with various DOF and then I can choose the perfect one! :)

Thanks so much for your visit today, I hope you enjoyed my fence-bokeh background! :)

OH and BTW I added another set of pictures today! :D I think I was posting them at the same time as you were looking at my clover picture! :)

Have a wonderful day!

I have one of these in the garden Keith, but more purple and amongst so many other shrubs that it would be impossible to get a clear picture like this one. You've focused beautifully on the one stem, which looks beautiful. Hope you have enjoyed the good weather today!

Thank you for all your kind comments folks.............I've pretty much run out of flowers to photograph in my garden, but luckily I have lots of wonderful public gardens near me!

Ene naar voor---Prima Keith!

Thank you Fred.............I'm glad you approve!

they may have darker hues as well...
this is very tender !

Thank your Christel...........glad you like it.

Oooo. Glorious! Love this and the bokeh. Mmmmmmm

Thanks Jan...............I'm pleased that you like it.

A fine capture and striking use of depth of field.

Cheers John.............glad you approve :-)

Beautiful!! Thanks for naming this flower, Keith. I've often wondered what it is but no-one knowledgeable around at the time.
