flowers and bokeh

A wonderful lady that Greg used to work with sent me the most divine-smelling flowers yesterday. The have filled my home with perfume. I can't seem to do them justice in a photograph....
...and for once, I have no idea what these flowers are (I am not good on non-Australian flora).

[Charli]

What a wonderful thoughtful person that lady is! Beautiful photo, not sure what they are either but I'm sure someone will know!

[Leonie Mogridge]

Whatever they are called, they are gorgeous! They should be called bluebells, cause that's what they look like

[Livia]

What a thoughtful gift. These flowers look so pretty! Love the blue color. Beautiful capture.

[Vanilla Spice]

What a sweet gesture! You captured it beautifully!

[Maggiemae]

They do look like the flowers on a blue delphinium ! A wonderful blue and well photographed!

[Cassandra Hoffmann]

[Lora G]

You did a great job of showing their beauty. I wish I could smell them.

[Cristina]

Beautiful flowers and gorgeous shot. If this doesn't do it justice, can't imagine what they're like in person!

How beautiful! I thought 'delphinium' too. Are there lillies in there too? What a wonderful combination... and what a thoughtful lady. Glad you enjoyed them and took such a fab photo to share with us.

[Nathalie]

These are beautiful...and the photo is GORGEOUS! Lovely bokeh, has a fairy-like feel to it, and I love that blue, intense colour...works so well with the soft background. Awesome shot :)
