Description

This is lobelia from the planter in front of my living room window. While the photograph was taken in June, I just as easily could have taken it today. The lobelia is still in bloom, still going strong. The whole blossom stalk is probably no more than an inch high.

I love lobelia, partly for the very reason you mentioned, that it blooms forever--and I know just where this is--I saw it up close and personal the other day!!

Thanks for sharing such a bright and refreshing image, beautiful colour enhanced by the superb dof. I myself have deliberately saved most of my summer flower shots to upload on dark and dismal days later into the winter. I will soon sift through them lol.

The sun is shining brightly here at the moment Tara, but there is still plenty of that white stuff about, all the roofs of the houses are still covered. The sun is warm if you stand in front of the window looking out, but very cold if you try and go out to look in. So thank you for this tiny but beautiful flower, that makes me think of summer, and Like Andrea says, I shouldn't wish my life away but like her I wish Spring was here. Excellent capture and a warming image. Bravo!!!!!

Tara, your flower shots and those of others are so sparkling that come springtime, I may have to begin raising something beyond grass and weeds :) Great macro here. Bill
