Description After my recent post on Castle KennedyΒ Castle Kennedy Gardens Β in which I misnamed so many flowers, I'm leaving that aspect to others and showing only a set of 5 Pretty Flowers from an Open Garden Day in Spring in Kirkcudbright. In one regard, these images are different from those that I normally post in that I have used the Topaz Textures plug in, which I am currently evaluating< to add a textured layer to the background. Comments on whether this enhances or diminishes the image are welcome.

I quite like the optical ambiguity in this shot around the top of the flower. Possibly a blue poppy....?

Update - blue Himalayan poppy declared by Ursselin

I think it is this colour that makes these poppies so popular, although I understand they are hard to grow.

Many Thanks, Max
