A riot of colours DA

[ValeryD]

WOW! It's really a beautiful garden in this topic!

[Greg Beetham]

Those are nice and fresh DA, very pretty, I do like the flowers in the second one but I'm not sure what they're called.

Thanks for the comments

Greg they are a couple of Whatchamacallits. ;^) sorry, don't know either?

[sury]

Nice Whatchamacallits, DA.

[Birma]

Nice warm colours from the garden Sury

Here are the first Orchids I've seen this year.

Sury, Birma! It's very nice colour of the Spring.
Not from the garden yet, we had very cold the spring time, but from my home.

[Greg Beetham]

Very nice flowers Sury, I know the yellow/orange and the pink ones are Roses but I don't know what the spiky one is.
Count your blessings Birma with wild ground growing orchids, very nice ones too, most of mine have to be put on a suitable tree and pampered a bit.
Pretty bloom ValeryD

[Birma]

Thanks Greg and Valery

Nice Lily, Valery. Lovely lighting.

We're lucky to have them around Greg, you're right. I wish they were more common, but it's good to know the places were you can find them.

[ValeryD]

Finally we have the spring too.
First crocuses

Three very nice shots Sury, lovely Roses’.

Beautiful Orchids Birma. Nice work.

Really like the Primrose? ValeryD.
Good too see those crocuses out at last in Winterpeg. ;^)

[Birma]

Very nice Valery - I'm glad your spring has arrived at last. I really like that second picture where the flowers seem to be bursting up out of the ground.

[Birma]

More Bluebells from the Worcestershire woods. First a close up in gentle lighting, trying hard for a soft blue bokeh background.

Next a much harsher light, as the early morning sun's first rays burst through the edge of the woods to illuminate the carpet of blue bells.

Both A99. First Tamron 90 macro, second SAL 28-75.

[sury]

Andy, your hard work paid off in soft bokeh. Very nice shots.
