Astounding…I don’t know where to begin.

We are blessed with such beauty in nature, and oftentimes are so wrapped up in our own little world that we fail to see it. Thanks for slowing down to see it, and taking the time to share it with us. Very well done!

Hi Dale,

Thank you for your very kind words - much appreciated!

Having just finished the edits from the first venue of our most recent Frank-Fest, a few compilations from the associated gardens.

(Shot raw and processed with: DxO PL E/ Nik, Adobe LrC/ PS with Tony Kuyper Panels and Topaz Labs Studio. These shots are all by Phil as Karen eschewed taking a camera along on this trip... Plus, we were getting to grips with Arfur - our new DJI Neo 2 Drone).

And now in Colour...

Names?

Working from top. And left-to-right.

Selection 1. Lavatera (x2). Centaurea dealbata (I think)
Selection 2. Alstromeria (x2). Echinops.
Selection 3. Teasel. ? (stumped me there). One of the many types of (bulbous) lilly.
Selection 4. Salvia (type/species not identified). Allium (seed head). Another of the many types of (bulbous) lilly.
Selection 5. Delphinium. Another of the many types of (bulbous) lilly. Phlox (I think).
Selection . Acanthus mollis. Geranium (possibly type Ann Folkard). Some sort of fencing. Centaurea cyanus. Veronica (possibly type of longifolia).

(I saw a close relative of Neo in a local Currys)

(Last edit - veronica - brought on after scanning a list of names of species, which jogged the grey matter. That still leaves one "stumped")
