Very nice capture of these pretty purple Cineraria Mary. I like the different stages of Growth on each one here.
Your focus is sharp and white balance is controlled nicely.

Glorious click with such a beautiful composition. I love these gorgeous purple flowers and they make for such tranquil and soothing viewing even as I just kickstart my day here in India. And you have a past connect with these blooms which you so sweetly narrated. This enchanting bunch richly deserves a six star rating but I got no more left. Standing ovation

A beautiful flower with a lovely sentiment. I am always amazed the things that our memory attaches to events in our life. These flowers are a very pretty colour. Your focus is good, the backdrop is nicely blurred and not distracting. Thanks for sharing

Your close-up is impressive. The Cineraria is beautiful. I like that you show blossoms in different stages of opening. Your photo is excellent focused and exposed and has good depth. I enjoy the realism of color and light and the sharpness of detail. The Cineraria is well placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.
