Comment from nature rules
I can't believe I had to go back so far to find this one....I have been absent on here longer than I thought.
I love this capture. The detail in the midst of the blend of reds and oranges and yellows is perfection! That bit of green in the center proves that these flowers are lively and strong. Just the same as your memories of Padre. What a wonderful memory you keep about him in your gardens.
Your two open flowers plus the one unopened one between and below them balances out this composition quite artistically. Your rich greens in your dof with just enough contrasting texture in the upper right corner adds just what is needed to prove this is an 'in the garden' photo. Nothing has been picked and posed =perfection. Sorry it took me so long to get to this one! LOVE IT!
Thank you over and over for your artist notes and for sharing 'your place' with us here on FAR. A pleasure...as always.

awww...you are a sweetheart for going back and finding this one Becky. ....and then giving it such a wonderful review. Particularly thank you for your comments re: Padre and the 'no pose' bit. My flowers would laugh at me if I tried to pose them. So thank you greatly my dear friend for all of it (including the shiny gold star, of course...lol) You have made a wet, dreary and rather dark day definitely more pleasant.

Comment from Shadow catcher
Another great flower portrait to be sure,and an excellent way to honor your father each year by planting themI love the orange color with their darker centers,the color radiating out thru the veining.Excellent dof,image nice and sharp and framed nicely in your photo,really popping against the green foliage in the background.Don't think I have ever seen that color before and it was extremely enjoying to view! :) LeeAnn

Isn't that color just the best LeeAnn! Think they are the most orange flower in my gardens and I hope you know how much I appreciate you giving them such a marvelous review AND excellent rating. You are a PEACH!!! lol

Comment from supergold
your Padre was right: I grow annuals every year: particularly petunia because I like to have every year a new variety;
I've never seen these pumpkin color;
outstanding sharp focus with very nice details of the texture;

Such a lovely tribute and I agree with both of you on the beauty of these pumpkin petunia's. Personally I have never seen such a color on a petunia. This makes for a very lovely photo. Shows beautifully in your captured image with the great detail and wonderful color.
Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt image and memory with us, your FAR family.

Well done with the annuals, obviously a good choice.

Comment from ArtistCharles
Beautiful flowers and wonderful story. I must admit I go through the same mental argumant, but am moving more to container gardening and annuals are great for that. These have a gorgeous color and shading. Ad delight to look at. Sharp focus and nice composition. Well done.

Nothing beats annuals for container gardening Charles. I am very fortunate to be able to spread out like a crazy flower woman when it comes to my gardens lol But if I ever was forced to do containers, annuals would be the way I'd go. Do appreciate the really lovely review here. Thank you so much.
