    I had a rush of blood to the head and went and took a series of pictures of flowering plants. This and others in the series were photographed in situ; no plants were harmed, as they say. How I did i

    If agapanthus appear often in this archive it’s because all the neighbours grow them along their front fences. And they are photogenic. Technique: #photo Theme: #flower Highlight colour: #purple Seri
