Colors of the Garden
This photo has no purpose or "truth," divine or otherwise. I just thought it was beautiful! I'm not sure what these flowers are, but they sit atop very long, straight stalks, and I found them at the garden surrounding the Lotus Temple yesterday. Perhaps these are even some kind of Lotus flower, although I think I remember that Lotus flowers usually reside on lily-like pads in the water.
Ah! Madhu has solved the mystery of this one! They are called Double Dahlias. Thanks Madhu!

You take absolutely great shots - some rather unusual. Not to suggest it is the camera, but which one is it?

I enjoy your site, even more so your images, do you really take them your self? Here in France i am blessed having a great variety of flora, the most breathtaking of which are usually the springtime plants. Can I use some of the images on my flower blog? I would back link any photos back to here naturally. Kaylee White
