The delicate blue flowers are very pretty. I first thought the leaves were a bit too much yellow, but I looked it up on Google and all the leaves I saw were yellow-green. I also changed the spelling. That was the way it was spelled on Google.

Beautiful, Albert.  Excellent dof to keep all of that largish flower sharp.  I like the angle you used on this one.

Stunning ...appropriate for July 4th...just around the corner as this looks like fireworks!   Nice frame-filling action.   Sharp where needed.  Ken S
