Small flower.

Coming out of the fish & chip shop last night I saw this pretty little flower climbing over the brick work.
I took my camera today & guess what after leaving my memory card behind the other night, I did exactly the same thing today but luckily not far to go back this time.

Three good things:
1.I have written down all the instructions & tips for the new steward of the horticulture Marquee to help her in July. ...five A4 pages!!
2. My replanted plants have perked up no end after a good watering.
3. Loads of faves on my cow picture...I am so grateful for your support & comments, they give me so much pleasure...thank you all.

So pretty and delicate. The blurring gives is such a soft look.

[Judith Johnson]

They look like little violets so lovely to see them clinging to the wall.

[Sarah Bremner]

What a sweet picture! Lovely shade and effect!
Like your good things especially the hand on notes for new steward....
up to my eyes in hand on notes at school.......

@mcmary @busylady @sarah19 Thank you all very much....just looking at it again on here I think it would have been better with a small crop on the right hand side!

[Jennifer]

Very pretty, you captured the colour and delicacy beautifully. I love the blur, I think it makes the pic, don't crop it ;-)

[Judith Greenwood]

Ivy leaved toadflax I believe. One of my favourite plants and favourite names. Love your photo of it - all that purple bokeh as an extra bonus.

[Hazel]

Love the colour on the flowers and in the blur. I think they might be violets.

[Pat Knowles]

@judithg Lovely to know the name Judith , thank you. It is so pretty but I felt rather foolish gazing at the brick wall outside the supermarket!

[Pat Knowles]

@mcmary @busylady @sarah19 @jesperani @quietpurplehaze
Thank you for your comments & I had to steel myself to take a close up of this wall outside the supermarket!!!

[Jean Tookey]

Beautiful! So soft and delicate.

[Jack Farrer]

Very nice, I'm glad you didn't crop it. You would have ended up with a square image which doesn't always look that great, plus the depth of field makes the sharp flowers look even more impressive.

[Pat Knowles]

@guycalledjack Thank you Jack & of course you are right , good to get your input!!

[Pat Knowles]

@jtookey150 Aren't they pretty Jean...I couldn't resist them!

[Phil Howcroft]

beautiful bokeh and purples here PAt

[Loopy-Lou]

Simply beautiful, lovely colours.

[Graham Harcombe]

Very pretty - and fun with the DoF

[Karin Hirsch]

Lovely capture of the viola, like the dof

[Lesley Allen]

Pretty flower and focus Pat, it can be a bit of a nuisance in the garden though, it seems to get everywhere!

[Barbara Paquette]

Stunning colors!!! The blurring gives me a bit of vertigo - but no wait, that's my allergies this spring - ears are all filled up! Your picture is lovely!

[Pat Knowles]

@phil_howcroft @bizziebeeme @ellida @khirsch @lesleyallen
Thank you all I have checked the name out on Google & judithg is right with her title of the Ivy Leafed Toadflax. it grows in crevices of paths & walls & can be used in salads having the same rather acidy taste as cress apparently!!

[Karin Hirsch]

@happypat Looking at it closely again, it surely has ivy shaped leaves. Thanks for checking tis out, sorry I mistook it for a viola

[Pat Knowles]

@khirsch Well I didn't know it's name either Karin ...I think a few of us thought it might be the viola family!

[Karin Hirsch]

@happypat I admit I was a bit baffled, it looked like viola flowers and ivy leaves. I love these true survivers growing on walls

[Peggy Sirk]

Wonderful focus on these delicate beauties. Such a sweet shot!

[fife]

What beautiful flowers! Well captured.

[Rick Schies]

These are little but they are really beautiful

[Smitha]

Very nice DOF and beautiful warm lighting.

[bkb in the city]

Wonderful shot

[JH]

How pretty! And the names is the icing on the cake. @judithg ivy leaved toadflax?!

[Judith Greenwood]

@jewelsandbinoculars Yep!!

[James Verdi]

Lovely flowers and shot.

[Barb Smith]

Such beautiful soft colors, Pat. Yikes about the memory card. I have done that more times than I like to admit.

[James Verdi]

Beautiful.

[Juliette Packham]

love the focus and DOF on this - very pretty
