Thank you so much Dale. Did check out your yellow flower this morning. A wildflower commonly referred to as 'Yellow Goatsbeard'

This is a delightful shot of the flowers! You have timed it well. The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good effort!

Comment from Linda Wetzel
The bell shape of this flower is so pleasing. One can almost imagine the faeries making them ring. The blue colors are vibrant and I am sure create a light very pathway in your garden.

LOVE that Linda!! "...the fairies make them ring" b/c I know happy little garden fairies abound in my gardens. How could they not, right?? Right! Anyway, thank you for the absolutely delightful review.

Wonderful initial impression: the blue really catches the viewers eye! Well photographed with good focus, the image is clear to view, wonderful blue tones in these bell shaped flowers, they come forward from background and show the details and tonal variations very well.i would love to have these in my front yard , right up next to the house! It's always such a treat to see blue flowers! Well presented and a pleasure to view!

The least represented color in my gardens Pat so I really appreciate each and every blue blossom one I grow. Thank you for the lovely review. Appreciate that as well.

Comment from michiganmike
A beautiful flower that has the kind of deep trumpet shape that is attractive to hummingbirds. I have been looking for new flowers that would appeal to my hummers. They seem to like several varieties of salvia as well as pentstemon, gartenmeister fuchsia, and agastache. In any event these are very nice looking and well presented.

These guys blossom in my gardens it seems just ahead of the Hummingbirds coming back MM. But you're right, they would find the shape very attractive. I know they adore the SALVIA that comes later in the season. Still harvesting Asparagus or is it done for the season now??

This is a really gorgeous photo to view. The blue color pops off the page. They are nicely arranged in an artistic way. The focus is sharp and you can see the many tones and details of the flowers. The notes attached are an informative read. Nice work!!!

Comment from Stringbean
These are stunning and so is your capture of these Siberian Squil. The multi-shades of blue and contrast add to the beauty of your photography. Beautiful capture of natural light and sharp focus revealing incredible details on these gorgeous blue flowers. Your choice of aperture giving you sharp focus on your subject and blurred background complimenting your overall work. I enjoy reading about your garden and your artist notes. Outstanding work and Thanks for sharing!
