I have this set of Lilac bushes in the back yard; the blooms are immense.. Each little flower is about a half inch across, but the 'pompom' is about a foot long, or more! Looking at them against a deep blue sky.... sigh. I should make this one available in a 6" square; it wolud make a stunning tile...
Here's a Calendula in more full bloom. In the garden these flowers really don't stand out... but I love the "sawtooth" tips to the petals!
And here's the blatant commercial shot. See? I can do these too. Me and about 6000 other photographers. Ah well... It's not like I was able to resist the call either.
