A very uncommon type of buckthorn and not the invasive type. Photographed at the Chicago Botanic Garden - it is a beautiful rich true blue color.

As always I love your flower shots. Very nice colors. Composition is more of a desktop shot since the object basically is all over the screen. This is a desktop photo site; so you did well.

I had no idea that buckthorn was invasive. Actually I've never heard of buckthorn. Come out here and I'll show you some star thistles that are taking over the area.

Gorgeous detail and like the way the leaves look like they have a waxy texture, wonderful colour and capture

A familiar one to me Kathy, lol! Composed and captured perfectly (the lighting in this one is very special). Excellent work again, my friend.
