Dew Bells

Dew Bells

The bell-shaped flowers of Nectaroscordum siculum
also known as Allium bulgaricum, Allium sicilum – Sicilian honey garlic. I took this photograph in 2007 and was lucky to have it placed 1st in the plant portrait category of the RHS photographic competition 2007. I thought I would share it with you as it seemed to sum up the weather we are having in England, wet, wet, wet!

Nikon D200, Nikkor 105 micro VR, F/11.0, 1/200, ISO 320, Aperture priority, Hand held, available light.

    What a beautiful capture this is, Jacky! Perhaps it is because I am so thursty for some rain. This has been the driest Summer that I can remember and we have been breaking all heat records. If I send you some rain, will you send me some of that rain? I am simply dying to hear the rain falling on the roof and I know how happy my plants would be. Thank you for sharing this lovely image. It rises right to the top of my favorites list.
