This Ornamental Onion (Allium Aflatunense) was captured some time ago in the garden of my wife. It's my F² contribution for today.

Hope you'll like this post. Thanks in advance for your comment.

I like onion, but I prefer this one, at least it's prettier. Nice work, Cornelius, good contrast with the green background.

That bright purple shines against the green background Cornelius. Good clarity and nice presentation too.

I like onions but never thought the image shows onion flowers. :) Really great close-up, great composition and DOF. They have pretty colors.

This is so beautiful, Cornelius, and the colors are knockout! The dof is perfect too. I imagine this is a huge bloom and very tall. I would love some in my garden too.

Spectacular camera work on this shot, Cornelius. The detail is extraordinary, and the background couldn't be better. By far the best flower shot of Foofy Friday.

Now to the real matter at hand. What the deal with YOUR WIFE'S garden. First they get the vote, and then they get their own garden. I'm shocked, appalled and outraged. :-)

Cornelius - Allium are showy flowers that photograph beautifully. From the point of view, looking down, you have used the garden greenery beautifully for the background. Thad
