The focus is purely on the flower in the middle, but I used a macro lens and it shows up the wonderful pattern in the middle.
I have sent it to my printers for a 16" by 9" Giclee , (Fuji 80mm macro , 1 /480th second ISO 320, Velvia setting)
As you say, it just screams summer
Not my garden , but growing wild by the same verge that had the Ox Eye Daisies and Cornflowers I posted a couple of days ago
I’ll go back at some point and try and find a flower on the fringes and try and isolate it at F2.8 so it will be pink with a pink background
I’m quite chuffed with this one, taken on my walk around the fields surrounding the village this evening

Clematis Prince George flourishing this year. We have several clematis of different varieties, most are growing vigorously but with very few blooms, while a couple have suffered from the dreaded ‘clematis wilt’. Most disappointing has been our 20 year old Montana. This is normally a huge mass of blooms, but this year nothing, just a mass of (nearly) dead stems and shoots. I can only put it down to the weather, early spring deluge followed by near drought. I would be interested to hear how others have been doing with the clematis.

So Salisbury has a problem with hanging baskets and floral displays, apparently.
‘Boscobel’ roses grown in a pot in my backyard.
A beautiful David Austin rose - wonderful combination of colour, scent and shape.
