  1. Beautiful light and color, and as for the flower, whether with five or six petals, each petal is deeply notched, and that is very pretty indeed.

  2. This was in a shaded spot, which makes the greens seem darker, and allows a decent photo of white flowers, which otherwise tend to be burned out.
