So there I was driving, minding my own business and these two yelled at me from across the street..so I stopped to talk to the man that was taking care of them, and he told me that his sister had given them to him and how pleased he was they were thriving so well. I asked permission to capture them, told him what I was going to do with the image and he was one very proud gardner and asked to have a copy when I could deliver..so here's to the man who takes care of the Sheltering Sister and her sibling :)PJ

Wonderful capture PJ and such an appropriate title. We older siblings do tend to watch out for the younger ones (sisters often)...that always feel they are in the 'background'. Your clarity and compostion as well as color are lovely and the presentation is lovely. Thanks for sharing this beauty.

The vividly bold color is incredible PJ and I love the comment you put with this image. It gives the viewer a completely different view of the flowers. They are somehow 'personified'. Very well done my friend :~)

Pretty awesome and unusual color (at least to me). These flowers just flag you down even when your just driving down the street hey.

Hardly a day goes by on this site that I don't see something I have never seen before. These are brand new to me. My goodness, they are striking. What design and beauty.
Evolution? (rolls on ground with laughter...) Not a chance. Wonderful work, PJ.
