Hosta blossoms from my flower garden. Had a fun session with these yesterday. My Hostas were a bit late this year, but are now blooming like crazy. I brought 3 springs indoors to play with.

I've never seen Hostas before; gorgeous lighting and excellent processing, as usual.

Exquisite portrait. I confess to underrating the Hosta. I shall have to pay more acute attention to them. Thanks for bringing them to my attention.

Unknown flower for me. Nicely managed contrast to BG. Well done Kathy.

Beautiful image, Kathy - love the delicacy of the colouring, and the composition and presentation work well together.
