Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania provides endless visual treats, usually in the form of beautiful flowers. But yesterday, Longwood added another element -- hundreds of white, pink and yellow parasols covered the conservatory's central atrium.

I looked for a point where there were minimal breaks in the field of color and finally settled on this collection of yellow parasols, which contained only three minor distracting breaks in which sky or ceiling elements were visible. I removed those by cloning in yellow pixels, to produce the undisrupted image you see here.
