A different cyclamen is born

A plant of cyclamen in a pot blooms site three years. Now a different flower is born and I like it too. I decided to make a portrait of it after two years that no flower asked me for a photo.

Gigi: A new flower for me so this is a special treat. Wonderful colors and structure in the petals. I pray you are doing well and safe from the virus knowing that Italy has been especially hard hit. Thanks for your usual inspiring image and my prayers go out to you. >=))>

Such a beautiful flower, Gigi, and you captured it so well. Love the colors, and the shapes and lines in the pedals really make this such an enjoyable image. Nice soft background as well.

So good to see you posting again, Gigi, especially in such difficult times. A beautiful presentation, as ever, of a wonderfully baroque flower.

It’s a beauty, Gigi. The swirls of color in the petals and the sharpness throughout the flower and stem look great, while the background contrasts well with the flower’s colors.

Beautiful Gigi! Color of the flower is vibrant, but I just love the shape and flow, or swirl that the pedals are forming. No nits or suggestions.

Wonderfully captured and presented

Gigi
What an unusual flower! Very well done and set off nicely against the creamy background. No suggestions from me.

Glad to hear from you… I ditto Bill’s sentiment about your situation in Italy.

Love the curves and swirls of the petals of this cyclamen… you always find the special or unusual and this fits that description. The soft lighting works nicely against the oof background. Think a good name for this might be “Blowing in the Wind.”

Keep safe!
