I love flowers, too. I am happy to come upon your beautiful blooms today. Also, my photographic experiments have taught me that as beautiful as flowers are, it is not always easy to get a good shot of them – so well done to you. Every one of your “petal pushers” is a delight and treasure.

Love the colors flowers can bring! Your protea pin cushion looks very nice and I love the wisteria. I still have photos of wisteria I need to go through. I can’t believe it’s all gone by now. It really blooms for just a couple of weeks, unfortunately.

Gorgeous shots as usual Jane. I love photographing flowers too (they keep still!) and I’m thinking of posting a ‘bloom a day for the month of May’…but not sure if I have that much blogging in me…might just do it on my FB page.
