Lavender Lace

Posted by Suzanne (Huntington Bch, California, United States) on 10 January 2009 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

In some photographs the essence of light and space dominate; in others, the substance of rock and wood, and the luminous insistence of growing things...It is my intention to present, through the medium of photography, intuitive observations of the natural world which may have meaning to spectators... -- Ansel Adams

The warm tones of the background and stems really create a pleasing ambience, along with the beauty of the colours in the flowers themselves. Those tiny Water droplets are the icing on the cake. Gorgeous

Lovely delicate flowers.
Would this be plumbago?

@grouser: Grouser, I think you've got it! I googled Plumbago and the description fits it perfectly. The flower is actually blue but came out more lavender in my photo. Thank you, you saved me a trip to the nursery to find out what it is.
