Flowers

Lovely, lovely.... Bob what are the flowers in your second photograph? Do they come in different color?. Are they ever used as cut flowers? I was sent a large bouquet of flowers that look like them. Could not identify what they were. Had never seen them before.
 
Thank you for the complements.

Hear is a tip I was given on photographing flowers.
Take them early morning or evening or when the sky is cloudy.
Try to pick a windless day.

Good tips. And if the sun is directly on those of certain colours - red, yellow, purple, you get a waxy looking reflection. And you can't even have a light breeze, though I try anyway.

Nona, I never knew what kind of flower this was, so your question go me to go an search for it. I took this at the spectacular Butchart Gardens http://www.butchartgardens.com/ on Vancouver Island several years ago. The flower appears to be a cactus hybrid zinnia. I found some pictures in Google Images that seem to closely match my shot. Glad you enjoyed the pictures.

Thanks! I really love photos of water drops on flowers. I found that if dew or raindrops are not there, I make my own with a spray bottle. :D

I'll have to get out into my own garden early one morning after the sprinklers have been on. Before we know it, Fall will be here and the flowers will be gone.
