Hi Fred.............thank you very much. I am really looking forward to exploring some famous Sussex gardens late September...............especially 'Great Dixter'-Christopher Lloyd's amazing tribute to interesting flowers and the use of colour. Nice to meet a fellow flower lover.

Beautiful shots. The first one really made me catch my breath the way it jumped off the screen.

Beautiful images. I don't believe they could be photographed any better. The colors and vibrancy on the first one is spectacular!

These are just lovely! Such rich colors and you've composed them very well. I especially like the first two.

sheltiesmama-it's a really interesting design on the leaves........more dramatic than the purple variety-in my opinion. Thank you for the feedback.
