Today in the Garden

[bellakara]

I'm doing a daily garden photo project on my LJ/DW which is called Yesterday in the Garden, owing to my posting them a day later. I thought I'd post today's though here. The second is behind the cut.

Oh, what splendid colors! The red wow'd me enough, but the black pansy(?) is awesome.

My Queen of the Night tulips are coming up, but so far, the color of the buds looks rather disappointing.

Oh I'm looking forward to seeing your tulips!

The black flower is a Viola Molly Sanderson. Apparently one of the few black flowers out there!

It is a really splendid black shade! I hope the tulips darken up as they develop.

I like both of the photos. What are the red flowers, please?

[bellakara]

Thanks! I think the flowers in the first photo are aquilegia, or Granny's Bonnet, but I could be wrong.

Gah, that first one is really lovely -- love the green/red combo, and the sparse, almost abstract composition is excellent. A beautifully balanced shot!

Thank you! I love the flowers in the first photo - their colour stands out so beautifully against the green, which made them a good subject to photograph.

I really like these! The composition and the colours of the first photo is gorgeous and I love the way the waterdrops look on the black pansy in the second.

Thanks - I was happy to get that black viola, since black flowers are not very common. And raindrops often look nice on flora.
