Three words Sheldon, good, better, best. What a great series of pictures with each excellent in it's own right.
If I had to prioritise it would be the middle picture with its delicate white flowers, followed by the third with its seeds caught in the spiders webs, and finally the first with it's beautiful purple flowers. Nice work buddy

Nice series, Sheldon!
I've seen the plant on your second shot before. really nice delicate flowers.
The third shot was a surprise for me. at first I thought you captured a pollen shower. Then I looked at the large version and discovered the underlying web. Good job!

Like the colors in the first pic.. The second pic would have been better a little closer.. maybe cropped..

The 2nd one is my favorite, but I love how you captured the spider web in #3 as well!

I love all of these photos, i'm a girl who loves her nature. Those white flowers are so delicate looking and i love the deep pink of the first flowers, but i really love the yellow petals caught in the spider web! so pretty, great job! Kimi
