Wonderful! I can't wait for them to sprout in Alberta soon. Love the first image, wonderful color and bokeh, and incredibly sharp. What f-stop were you using here?

Exposure: 0.02 sec (1/50)
Aperture: f/8.0

Great bokeh for f8, indeed ... I was imagining more a f 5.6 on this ...

I like the first one best also. Great colours and velvety textures. Very nice.

I am going with the first as well, lovely colours and bokeh.

Count me in too - I'll take shot 1 and a muffin to go! :D

Love'em both, they are one of my favourite flowers actually. Guess I'll have to be different as I like #2 best. Shows off the pastel colours so well, and is oh so sharply detailed.

thanks Marko, but sorry- the kids ate the muffins :sad:

HBG- you can take #2 :thumbup:
