Spring Flowers by fishers

Spring Flowers

Whilst clearing an overgrown part of my back garden I came across these lovely flowers. I have no idea what they are, but they do brighten up the garden and remind me that it is indeed spring. I also decided to experiment with focus again to see if I could get a better result than the last time. Any feedback on this attempt would be gratefully received!

Oh another LWF classification-two in a row brilliant. Re the shot is the camera on an auto or manual setting. If it is auto then switch to manual and you will be able to control the camera more. Having said that why not just sit back and think that was a great shot!!!!

@padlock It's on manual, but then I adjusted the focus in Picasa to see what kind of effect I could get! I will however take your advice and sit back and think it is a great shot!!! - Louise

Wild Hyacinthus I suppose . You can be sure by the smell of them.
A lovely capture of this wonderful flower.
Thank you for you so nice comment on my picnic pic. Please read the replay

They are hyacinths (see my shot today - great minds think alike). They should have a fairly strong scent. Love the dof you've achieved

Hello Fisher Family - lovely shot, well done x I too use Picasa, I love it! I think your mystery flower is either a white hyacinth or if it has fine yellow stamens inside the petals it will be a white bluebell. I'm following you now x

@lyndag thank you for your comment. Having googled it and given the pink flower seen in the background along with a blueish purple flower look the same shape etc I think its a hyacinth - Louise
April 17th, 2013  
@fishers yes, I think you're right - I bet it smells heavenly!
April 17th, 2013  
@lyndag sadly I have a bit of a cold so have no sense of smell. Hopefully once that's gone I will find out! - Louise
April 17th, 2013  
They're beautiful, whatever they are!
April 17th, 2013  
Great find and very nice shot
April 18th, 2013  
@rhos thank you. I think the others on here are right and they are hyacinths!
