Forgotten

One of the beautiful flowers I planted in my blue garden last year and had forgotten about and I also have forgotten its name!

[Theresa]

It's probably called "Beautiful ... but forgotten!" :)

[Mike O]

nice detail and shadows....very soft shot....

[Jann]

Platycodon grandiflorus referred to as the Japanese bellflower, common balloon flower, or balloon flower. Nice- we have these also- fun flower.

I believe Jann hit the nail on the head... but all I found was balloon flower, not the fancy names! :) It is beautiful and I love the sun coming from behind and making the flower almost translucent!

@maggotx Thanks, so much, Mag! I am glad someone mentioned that because those shadows are what drew me to the shot!

[katy]

@jannkc Ah! thank you so much. Now that you say it I remembered! I appreciate the view and comment,Jann! Thanks so much!

@marilyn I have been running a little behind lately and didn't have the time to look it up as I would normally have done so I appreciate the effort. I especially appreciate the comment about the sun because that is what caused me to take the shot in the first place! Spot on, girl! THANKS!

[Jennifer Wearing]

Beautiful! The purple is gorgeous and I love the small white unopened flower in the background. :-)

@jennwearing Thank you Jennifer. When I was composing the shot I wanted to be sure and get one of the buds in the shot because they are so interesting. thanks for noticing!
