I tried all sorts of special effects and decided the beauty of this flower did not need to be enhanced. Sometimes all we need to do is enjoy what Nature provides.
PS What is this?
I've hear of these, but don't recall seeing them. They are quite lovely. I noticed the spikey, furry things - do they close like a venus fly trap when the spikes are touched?
I agree, you can't improve on nature when it comes to this flower.
It is Foxglove. The plant produces digitalis, so you have to be careful about planting around pets. I have always wanted to plant them, but I have pets. They are a lot like Hollyhocks and sunflowers, growing on long stems.
Beautiful...I took a photo of this exact flower on Thursday and thought about posting it...but then changed my mind and put up the umbrella that I took later that day....it's amazing you and I haven't yet posted the same (or a similar one) on the same day.
You are right -- sometimes nature is so pretty there's nothing to be done to improve on it.
