One of my favourite plants-the begonia.They are so rich in colour, flower non stop and have such a visual impact.The petals are so delicate and are translucent.

When I lived in Northern Ireland I had a big garden with hanging baskets ( 17 or so) along the front and back of the house. Begonias favoured heavily in the planting schemes of the baskets. I left all my begonia bulbs with my friend Elaine, and had the chance to revisit them this summer--in her hanging baskets.

How I have missed my garden and feeding the pheasants.I had one bold cock pheasant who used to rap on the door for food!

Hello Joni. Excellent tight framing of this beautiful flowers. The twisting petals are beautiful and you have done well with the details here. Well done and warmest regards. Jusni

to shoot on a white and get the flawless outcome like this is indeed a commendable work, Joni.
you presented it perfectly well here with petals very well seen and i can't find a definition for an OE here.
