Red poppies out already! Great colours and background!

I transplanted some yellow ones yesterday, not sure if they will like 'the move'.

300 star lenses are great for flora as you have shown, yours has a closer focus than mine (F*). Also, I have a K135 3.5 which is florally great, super sharp and beautiful rendering etc... Worth picking one up if you can find one.

That's just beautiful David, lovely detail in the red.

They do indeed bend to the sun and you have captured it wonderfully well, including the entire range of those reds.
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

Well taken David, the flowers really pop having a nice clean background.
