  2. What a beautiful first contribution to MoM:) I like the colour contrast, but I also like the way you accented the edges of the petals and the blue lines criss-crossing (is that a word??) behind. Thank you for sharing your work on Mandarin Orange Monday and welcome:)

    1. Thanks for the welcome! It is fun when the camera surprises me with delightful details that I can't even see with my eyes.

  4. That is indeed 'neon'! Calendulas are fun flowers, aren't they? Like 'grown-up' marigolds. :)

    1. Calendulas do seem to want to go above and beyond, making soothing medicinal compounds as well as looking pretty.
