Winter blossom

4.13 pm: A first attempt at something completely different: flowers!

This is our Viburnum b. Charles Lamont. It blossoms in winter and has lovely pale pink tubular flowers. A nice touch of colour in our otherwise rather bare winter garden.

Very pretty!

[Araminta]

They are really pretty, reminded me of cherry blossoms, love the tones

This is a great first! Lovely editing too! Wat grappig dat ik je commentaar zag bij iemand aan de andere kant van de wereld... I'll follow you.

How romantic! I like the soft focus...

They are beautiful, and still strong to survive in this cold weather. Like us, women! :-)

[Trina P Holub]

Very pretty! I love how the focus makes the background soft, and makes the delicate pink flowers stand out.

@taciej @petra @bill_d @harvey @rachdbo Thank you :)
@araminta I'd never seen this plant before we bought it at a garden center last autumn but I am really pleased with how it turned out.

@geertje Dank je wel! Leuk dat hier meer Nederlanders zijn :) @caatjeg @machteld @smallenburg @gijsje Dank jullie wel! Ik had precies in mijn hoofd hoe de foto moest worden en het is bijna helemaal gelukt :)

@wrighty @catheniale @5unflow3r Thank you so much! I wish the background would have been a bit more blurred but apart from that I'm happy with this shot :) @deniseescovino @jodimuli Thank you! It is a beautiful and special flower :)

Beautiful - I love the pink flowers with the background.

@v_key Thank you, the background is our wooden fence that has weathered quite beautifully :)

Beautiful, love the contrast of colors and the softness of this shot.
