Snake's head Fritillary

Photo Information

Seen at West Green House Gardens.

Unfortunately the area was roped off so I couldn't get close.
This shot therefore need the full 300mm zoom, and a crop !

It might be well cropped but the detail is all there, in abundance

Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

Many thanks for the comments, Warren & David.

I love these flowers, the patterns are (as you say Warren) quite unusual and they come in various shades of pink & red and some even creamy white.

Thanks again
Peter
