I didn't do much Flora shooting on our trip to Alaska but I did come upon this orange agapanthus at the embarkation center in Juneua while we were waiting to board our boat. I've not seen a color like this on any local varieties so instead of just sitting around I grabbed a few shots. All comments welcome. >=))>

Interesting color. Alaska has a large variety of indigenous flora not seen elsewhere. I like this not only for the color, but also for the non-geometric shape of the flower cluster. Well seen!

Excellent, Bill. Great bg for the orange flowers. Nicely composed with very appealing contrasting colors and perfect dof managment for my tastes.

A pleasing composition and the orange flowers against the green background works well.

An excellent family portrait Bill. I love the selective focus and the warm colors.

Great contrasting colors here. The depth of field chosen works well for these flowers. Nice use of “down” time!
