Beautiful flowers. Although you probably see that some of the highlights are blown. I like the green and the blue working together. Thanks for sharing.

Very, very good color and contrast. I've never seen this plant and it is pretty.
Darwin had a thought, but he was in many ways far ahead of his time.
This is so nice. Great job.
Thanks for sharing

Fred,
A truly beautiful picture of one of your favourite flora. Beautiful soft cream petals & vivid green leaves set against a perfect & contrasting blue background. Taken with superb camera techniques, beautiful soft lighting & razor sharp focus.

Darwin, was a revolutionary. a great thinker. His thoughts have put the world in to separate camps. he knows the truth now so I guess he got the truth he sought.
