On my way back from a test shoot, I stopped at the Garden to see how the flowers were doing. Here's a few.

I like the last one, James. Nice contrast of colors and composition.
The others seem a little dark but I'm sure the shadows were tough to work with. I like the color though.

Nice James - especially that last one.

James,

Nice to see that Garden is blooming more now.

I just got back from Yellowstone and GTNP last night and was surprised to see how much snow had melted off of Pikes Peak.

James,

The Yellow columnar flower is toadflax, a highly invasive species.

Yup, toadflax is noxious but not obnoxious to look at. It's quite an attractive flower.

It is extremely aggressive though and does leave an ugly stalk when not green and flowering.

Nice pics James, I especially like the third one also.
