1. What fun … I bet there were alliums everywhere earlier too!

   1. I originally titled the picture ‘Ringer’ but thought that might be a bit obscure.

2. Oh, snappy! Love it.

   1. I hope the flowers aren’t saying “When I grow up, I want to be like you”

3. I love the mix of art and nature! Nicely captured!

   1. It’s a thoughtfully planted and curated garden – if it was a bit closer to home, it’d be one of my regular haunts. (The allium sculpture is by Jenny Pickford at the Sir Harold Hillier Garden).

4. Beautiful!

   1. Thanks, Rachel.

5. Art imitates nature, huh!?

   1. A nice little echo… or perhaps that should be a large echo!

6. That is just perfect! I love an image that draws my eyes into it, this one did that splendidly. Great job!

   1. I’m glad you like it. The perspective makes the sculpture look smaller than it is – it towers over the plants in real life.

      1. Yes, you picked a great angle!

7. Well done!

   1. Thanks, Lindy.

8. It looks as though they’re all made of flannel! What a great shot!

   1. I wouldn’t recommend using them as a flannel, for obvious reasons.

9. What a lovely garden. I can’t decide which one I like more- the flowers or the sculpture. I choose both! 🙂

   1. They work well together, don’t they?

      1. Yes they do!

10. Are those wild onions (the round purple flower)?

    1. Sorry for the late reply – they are echinops (globe thistles).
