Twilight beauty by maggiemae

Twilight beauty

This white primula grew from a little plant in a pot and I didn't know what it was till if flowered. I took this late in the evening and used a long exposure to get this luminous look. Particularly nice on black!

Three good things;
1. Loving what I see from my 365 friends every day - mountains, lakes, rivers, historic buildings, children, grandchildren!
2. Coconut biscuits.
3. Put sugar/honey mixture out for the birds.
Very beautiful!

Pretty blue primulas....looking a little like forget me nots at first......always impressed with a very black background like this......quite difficult to do I think! Coconut is very popular in NZ I find!

The dark background sets them off so well! Great eye!

@happypat @cimes1 They are actually white flowers, Carole and Pat. I have amended the text. The low evening light put the blues into them! Thank you both for commenting!
