I love the deep purple, velvety petals of this iris and the contrasting bright orange and white patterns, making this unusual looking flower look like an exotic bird at rest.

Rows of colour
This may seem like quite a simplistic picture in colour and composition, but it holds lots of textures and detail, if you look closely. The composition of the bench and the block rows of the flower colours really make this photo easy on the eye, almost aligning to rule of thirds. The red and pink flowers pop against the dull greys, which I really like, and the detail of the individual flowers and the bricks add depth.
Pink outreach
I really like the deep pink, tiny petals of this flower that add drama and flair to any setting. The long thin petals seems to pull you in from all directions, beckoning you to look closer.

Spiral staircase
I went to a department store in London recently called Fortnum and Mason. Its known as the Queen’s grocer and has been operating for over 300 years. On the day I visited they had their spiral staircase beautifully decorated in pink, delicate flowers which I just had to capture.
Other wonderful and interesting things I spotted were glacé fruits, colourful candles and delicious looking sweets. I also tried some of the tea that was brewed whilst I wandered.
It was fun walking around and seeing things that I wouldn’t normally see in my every day life. I don’t plan a visit again anytime soon, but if I happen to be in the area I’ll be sure to have another browse.

Shades of blue
I find this flower really interesting, from it’s jagged edged, pale blue petals to the deep blue filaments in the centre. I haven’t seen this flower before and it’s unusual shape and colour really caught my eye.

Fusion
I don’t know what these flowers are called but I love the way the lower petals are all white and the upper are blue, making it look like the two separate flowers have been fused together to make these pretty combinations. Also what’s interesting is how the anthers (the yellow bits with the pollen) are on the tips of the petals instead of in the centre of the flower. If anyone knows the name of these lovely flowers please, do let me know.
