Summer Evening

Helianthus, "Lemon Queen"

[Ann]

A most attractive shot with the sharp lemon-yellow daisies singing-out from the soft muted foliage.

Thanks Ann.

[Akira]

Elegant and exquisite.  I also like the composition leaving lots of space around the flowers.

[Jakov Minić]

The lemon queen has been majestically captured.

[DNSJR]

beautiful flower, wonderful shot, being from the US, I am not familiar with it

[David H. Hartman]

Love the yellow on green. The buds make a nice counter point to the blossoms that draw one's eyes back.

Akira, Jakov, DNSJR and David, I appreciate your nice comments.

DSNJR: the flower is a local wildflower in Connecticut and elsewhere I suppose. However, this flower is one I got in a nursery and planted in my garden. The blooms are prolific and bloom in August. It is in the sunflower family but I agree with Ann, it looks a lot like a daisy.

[Ann]

It looks like a Daisy . . . because it belongs to the same family!

I have the wild Helianthus too, but Lemon Queen looks as if she is a very superior being
