I'm not sure what the species name is... there were white ones and pink ones but I liked their shape. This is from the same location as the previous post.

Great job, Luke ! I like how the flower pops out against the dark BG:

Very nice capture Luke. Looks like you were working with harsh lighting and pulled it off nicely. This looks like a member of the Jewelweed or Touch-Me-Not family.

Some nice isolation there, Luke

. The lighter tones really stand out against the dark background. Water drops as always add a nice touch.

Nice flower Luke. This looks like what I have in my garden. It is called foxglove and it is a biennial. The newest flowers sit on top and the flower colors are yellow-white or purple pink. The genus is Digitalis

Luke:
Nice capture in warm lighting. The flower really pops from the BG. Also like the drops.
