They sure did, Albert ! The fresh green of the leaves makes a great backdrop in this image, which has a vibrant feel to it. You do have some great flowers at home !!!

The colors (including the greens) really pop here, Albert, with the blooms framed well by the green leaves. Many plants are very tough and your background story here illustrates that well.

Delicious colors, they get me in the mood for ice cream Albert blush

Nicely positioned pair on the diagonal with excellent detail, light, DOF, & contrasting green BG.

Well done! devil
