Flowers in Jephson Gardens

[NannyFerret]

It was a lovely warm, bright day so we jump on a bus and headed towards jephson Gardens in Leamington Spa.

It was aa bit more practice for me with the D3200 and I was quite pleased with todays effort. 

 

My friend told me that the read tulips were called Parrot Tulips.
I tried to get a shot with the sunlight shining through the petals as the dark burgandy colour glowed.

Have included a close up to show what the petals were like.

 

 

 

 

 

The single yellow tulip is as it came straight from the camera.

 

 

More back lit-ones.

 

 

I don't  know what this one is called, but it's in the wild bit of the gardens so I assume that it is meant to attract the insects, butterflies and bees.
Thanks to several members of the forum, I now know this flower to be Alium. Thanks for the info.

Thats a nice set Tina. Really like the back lit Tulips. I think the last one is some kind of Allium

[annie]

lovely set tina...

 

 

I am agreeing with  terry on the allium...

Same here - Alium, and lovely colours in the tulip shots, Tina!

Thanks for the comments. I can now add a name to the last shot.

It's always the bright colours I like, so it has to be yellow Tulips for me.

The yellow ones caught my eye and photographed quite well, but the red ones looked absolute beautiful in real life with the light behind them, but they didn't photograph as well as the yellow tulips.

For me it has to be the single yellow tulip. Very photogenic and subtle

[NannyFerret]

Thanks, Bugs. I have put that one on my desktop.

Alium - and I only know because I posted one last spring and I didn't know what it is either 

 

Liking all the single shots especially the Yellow Tulip
