Me too! The today and tomorrow style of flowers where the buds open up a different colour to the mature flowers always fascinates me.
What delicate coloring! I love the way the light swoops around it all.
Dappled shade in action!
My, what big flowers it has!
I suppose that depends how big of a screen you’re looking at! 🙂
It’s a close up shot, so a bit misleading.
Lol, that’s true! Maybe it is because the flowers are so open, but compared to the stalk they just seem large.
You could be right – it’s certainly a striking cultivar.
Perfect post for Wordless Wednesday. Beautiful.
Thanks, Lisa.
These are lovely. I must try shots of light through petals.
I usually look for flat light for flower pictures – a still, cloudy day is ideal – but some days you either take no pictures or you try to find a way to work with the light. The pictures where you are using directional light are often much more interesting than the flat ones – if they turn out at all!

This is beautiful, I love the soft purple.
