@celialee: Would you believe it! I was there, eye to the viewfinder, got as close as I could, took the shot and............I didn't notice the bugs till I put the picture up on the computer! LOL :-D

@Mahyar: Thank you Mahyar, it was a very pretty flower :)

@Dimitrios: Thanks Dimitrios :) it was the colour that drew my attention to it.

@Rebecca: Thank you for your kind words Rebecca, there was a whole flower bed full of these, they looked lovely dancing in the breeze :) I still find it hard to believe I didn't see the bugs when I took the photo! LOL :-D

@tengtan: Thank you tengtan, the gardens @ Castle Howard, were beautiful, and also very large, it was so peaceful to walk among the lovely flowers :)

@Richard_Irwin: Thank you Richard, I agree bright and overcast is so much better, especially in the case of this flower, it had wonderful faded colours, which wouldn't have come out so well if it had been sunny.

@tyan: Thank you tyan, I've not seen this one before either, I loved the faded colours and the green tips on the petals, now I have this pic, I can go and look for it as I would love to have it in our garden :)

@Morris J. Chisholm: Thank you for your very kind comment Morris, and for your visit to my p-blog :)

@Viewfinder: Thank you Viewfinder, elegant is a good word for this flower :)
