Outstanding Judy. I have to say this is one of your best. I love the colors of the blossoms and the DOF really makes them stand out.
Really a great image. 5 Stars for sure.

@Barbara: Whoa, I'm blushing... I was happy to stop the action as they fluttered in the breeze.
Thank you very much for your kind words.

I do too. This is really your favorite color isn't it Judy? Love the shot. The way the sunlight is hitting the blossoms really make them pop.

@Marion: Yes, it is my favorite color ... and this poor plant has struggled to take hold, but finally we think it has. We see them growing in the strangest places at times; maybe we've given it too much TLC. :D

This is a great shot of plumbago in bloom. We've got a bunch of them growing variously in our gardens.
