Allium

In the autumn we decorated our lounge and bought some new light fittings, the "Allium" range from BHS.

A couple of weeks later we saw some Allium bulbs in Wilko, so we bought a packet and planted them in our garden.

This is the result of our planting. A beautiful Allium flower.

They grow upright, but I shot them at an angle to add a bit of dynamism. The uncluttered white background ? A pice of card behind the said flower

Edited in Rawtherapee with an added vignette and then sent to GIMP to add the text and border

I might do our bluebelles in a similar fashion over the weekend

Looks nice :)

It sure does look nice, Phil. Love the angle and the contrast between the white background and the lush purple. Well done.

This is beautiful Phil. I love it on the white background. Funny, but I've just posted the same flower!

Beautiful! This would look fab done on canvas.

[Maggiemae]

The white card behind is the best I think for seeing the flower at its best! Did your light fittings have all these branches for a myriad of lights?

[Kerri]

It's like a pictue from a biology book, and I mean it as a compliment. Great detail, great attention on the subject without distraction, just pure flower.
