Your backyard must be a beautiful place when all your flowers are blooming. I am only successful so far with Elephant ear and red/pink caladiums.
My cana lily was doing well till
summer sun fried it...but rainy season is here so today I saw a bud...it may come back!
I like the low light and the way the red pops.
Beautiful capture Cara ;)

Thank you so much for the lovely review Sunshine. I spend hours each day in the garden when the weathers allows it, and the flower bed where this plant is sitting, is just beside where we are usually sitting.

How beautiful these blooms can get, even in the shaded area of your garden.
Your mixed media enhancement is just so well done and presented with superb, glowing dark background.

Wow, Annie, just Wow!

A perfect shot with all the distinct colors and all the perfect clarity one can find in the best of shots.

I really love this grouping and this deserves to be hung on a wall of a mansion.

Impatiens usually find a home in my garden also. They are beautiful and reliable. Your photo portrays one of a lovely color. So rich! Your focus is sharp and displays a nice depth of field. I like the beautiful red framed in darkness. Very striking! Beautiful capture!
