Purple Flame

These are quite pretty in their own right, but I thought the Adirondack chairs added a nice interest in the background.

I think your composition is spot on! The shallow depth of field with the chairs make this a fabulous shot!

Yes, near Los Angeles, California, U.S. A. :-)
I love seeing all the flowers from around the world here on 365. Some I've never seen before, and some that are so familiar I assumed they were native, but it turns out they were introduced long ago.

Love your composition with the chairs in the background makes you want to go there. The flower is gorgeous and well named.
