Gary, I believe they are Spanish Bluebells (not 100% sure; given by a friend). They grow from a bulb in the spring.

Terrific job on the water drop and choosing a pov that keeps the sky out of the refraction.

Carolyn, this is wonderful, absolutely wonderful. I've been trying this this summer also, with absolutely no success (yet). Gorgeous light and colors and sharpness and clarity here.
