Star Of Bethlehem(Ornithogalum umbellatum)delights me every springtime in my garden. This is one of the original Bach Flower Remedies and is said to give a sense of inner peace and healing. . . . . I chopped off some of the top flower when I took this picture so I added a border and 'painted' it in with the push brush in PSP. I am no artist lol :). .Panasonic DMC-FZ7.. Thank you for taking a look.Any comments are most welcome and always appreciated.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?

My flower folder is becoming a flower garden. Love the crisp colors and of course, the "framing." Excellent post.

I love these little white gems too. If you had not mentioned, no one would have noticed about the top flower, but you did such a wonderful painting, it looks like one of the best blossoms there! A very lovely post, Eve.

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. - Hermes

These are such beautiful flowers Lyn, and I love their scent, I can almost smell them. I would never have known those petals were painted in over the frame. I love them.

I think you should run a master course on how to frame a photo or put borders in your picture, this is an awesome photo I'm going to leave the special effects (borders) to you, for fear of embarrasing myself!!

Looks lovely, Lynn, and I agree that if you hadn't told us about the appendage operation you gave this, I know I would never have known!! Sweet spring upload.

"I never looked for it, gave it no name; yet I knew it always, when the gift of peace came. I stood quite still for the moment that it lasted...Then the light shifted slightly and the moment passed, leaving me...with the lasting echo of its presence.." Diana Gabaldon

There are three colours, Ten digits and seven notes, its what we do with them that’s important. Ruth Ross
