Whatever they are, they are beautiful Tommy!! Gorgeous color, comp and dof!! I'm guessing they may be a member of the morning glory family, but really just a guess. #1019092

Hi Tommy...Were thay about 3-4 inches across the fullest part of the bloom? If so they would be Heavenly Blue Morning glories! If not Heavenly Blue Teresa is correct in saying they are morning glories!!!! :-) I have a bunch of them on my web page if you are interested in looking at them! :-)

Aren't they just the prettiest flowers??? This is a fantastic image of them!!!!! ♫ k #6623544

Tommy- When I first saw them, I am sure they are morning glories. The framing you did is fantastic. Not only do the colors, pop, sing and dance, but the lighing almost puts them in a spotlight and really enhances the colors, details, and textures of the flowers. Outstanding DOF and composition also.
Beautiful work Tommy. #6629027

Linda Proctor October 20, 2008

Gorgeous Tommy!! Have to agree with all the above Lovely image! #6629268

Mary K. Robison October 20, 2008

Tommy, the way you composed this, with the bright yellow background complementing the blue MG's, adds to the beauty they already have.
If you plant them in Spring, give 'em something to climb and wrap around, and (at least) every other day, they'll put on a show for you. #6630248

Tommy E. Burgess October 21, 2008

Thank you Frank, Linda, and Mary for your wonderful comments, I do appreciate them very much. Thanks for the suggestion also Mary, I've heard since posting this to be careful planting them because they thrive and can effect neighboring plants and flowers. I think I could do high maintence though, it would be fun to have easy shooting access to such a beautiful flower. Thanks again everyone, and have a great day/night. :) Tommy #6630643
