In fact, principally my wife's - I take more photos than I do planting etc. At last a couple of calm days when everything stopped madly waving about in the wind, so hope these appeal. Almost all taken with K-1 + Sigma 70. At the moment, I'm almost using the Sigma lens purely for the lovely background it produces. Common names given where I can remember them - botanical names have no chance, I'm afraid!
Comments always welcome.

You're too modest. Centaurea = Perennial Cornflower .

Nos. 1, 2 and 11 stand out for me. Nicely composed and shot, and the yellow and purple of Jacob's Ladder is a lovely colour combination (complementary colours on the colour wheel?).

Thank you, all and especially Steve (for subtly correcting my spelling of Centaurea without even mentioning it!)
