May 31: Exploring the curves

What a nice garden surprise this week! Usually I grow caladiums from tubers, so I never get to see their blossoms. This year, I attempted to grow caladiums twice from tubers. For the third attempt, I went to the greenhouse and bought two mature looking plants. The blossoms may sway me over to buying caladium plants instead of starting plants from tubers each year.

I photographed the blossoms in three different photo shoots today. You can tell that I am not used to shooting caladium blossoms. I tried various compositions and angles. I liked this photo the best because it shows off the curves in the blossom and on the leaf.
They are indeed graceful, and lovely.

@deu49097 @linc Thanks! I was so caught up in the curves that I did not see the textures in this photo until you pointed this out to me.

Beautiful capture Daisy! I don't know if you can get a shot of just the blossom but that curve would be so photogenic on its own too. Well done!
