I found these pretties late summer and as I was looking up information on them, I found a little video about them that runs for just a short time, but was loaded with info. So if you're bored and have nothing to do this busy holiday season.. HERE IS A TIME KILLER
♫ :)PJ ♪
EDIT: This came out darker than I expected. Any thoughts on reloading it?Comments

I don't have a green thumb. Do these come in artificial, too? LOL. Very nice shot, PJ.

They look great as is. You attention is drawn to them and they appear to be like a light glowing in the dark. Any lighter and you would lose that effect. Great post PJ.

Very good clarity and colors. The flowers really seem to
shine in the dark.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?
I think it's very nice either way PJ. Light or dark.

try either reducing contrast just a touch, which would lower highlight levels, and decrease your shadow depth, or if you'd like to keep the highlights as-is, just reduce your shadows, or go into PS>image>adjust>Selective Color, and slide back the "black" slider in the neutral channel, the black channel, or both.
also I'd crop in about 25% from the right. That peat moss is deadening the image(IMO),whereas the green gives off a more vibrant feel. that would also take your flowers out from dead-center ;-)

Life is the pits sometimes, but God and your friends are always there to help you through it.
Nothing to do? You've got to be kidding! lol I haven't had time for Caedes that's for sure and trying to catch up isn't easy. I love echinacea and you reminded me that I want to get some white ones and yellow ones too. These are really pretty.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

My late father always said jokingly: "A day has 24 hours. When that's not enough for you to complete your work, you have to continue at night." That's the reason I've still some time to comment on new posts, lol.
Nice image PJ, love the intense colours and the contrast.

I needed that website and saved it. They seem to do well in the northern states, where it's a bit colder 'nice'. I'm going to be a botanist, photographer, Tour guide, what else do you have in store for me PJ! I just love it! I am SO glad that we have met. Thank you very much. ~~>-mDs>

You have captured their beauty well. I had one plant in my gardens but it did not like the location I guess. It surely was just as pretty as your picture. Very well done PJ!

~ I've grown the pink but never seen white ones PJ. Those center tops are amazingly detailed in your shot! A real eye-catcher.

A very nice flower shot PJ. I like this shot how it is. It seems as though if there were any more brightness it would take away their character. Nice work.

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined. (Henry David Thoreau)
I like it dark PJ, I'm not one for bright images - prefer deeper colours. And that's what you got here - I'm not sure I've ever seen those colours in a bloom before. Love the shapes too. I'm glad you dug these out.

Thanks to all my friends for the wonderful images I get to look at and learn from on Caedes every day. I always have something to say about them, but don't always have the time to record it. Please forgive me if I can't comment on all of your uploads.
Lovely rich colourings PJ. I dont think I have ever seen this type - only the purple ones.

No, don't reload it. It's a little dark but that only adds to the brightness of the flowers themselves. Very pretty. Thanks for the time killer, lol.

"Imperfection is beauty; madness is genius & it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring. And when it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I'm really better than them."--Marilyn Monroe
They look like little ladies with hudge hats. Very nice memory of summer.

Love the clarity here and it doesn't seem too dark to me. So that's what helps keep us healthy!
