I forget the name of these little flowers, which open up into bells.
I used my 105mm macro hand-held, which is a new experience for me. The fun part was the freedom to move about and try many different angles.

Hi, Anita, the colors of blues and greens are beautiful together. Textures look great - you have a special gift for choosing textures that work well with your image:S3:

Lovely colors and textures Anita, you certainly do have a way with flowers! I like the fact that the color palette of the background is the same as that of the flower. The bg textures give a feel of rough paper which looks great.

Anita, you are the Queen of Textures! I take inspiration from your images. The colors are wonderful and I really like the composition of the main flowers flowing upwards and then the one tilted strongly to the right.
