Description
...and to many other plants in the area. Too much rain in short time stresses the plants too. But the leaves are still nice.
Have a wonderful week.
Finally we got summer. it was more than 15C = 60F this morning. Dont think we had that high temperature yet this year. Sun is shining beautifully.
Thank you so much for viewing and kind comments to my previous post and special warm thanks go to those, who added it to their favorites. :)

Excellent capture! Still chilly to me, I've been getting 90F with thunderstorms everyday for the past few weeks. Huh! No fishies hiding in the water drops. ;D

This is a gorgeous photo! It looks like rain-stress coupled with intense sunlight; I read somewhere that water on the leaves (or petals) can amplify sunlight like a magnifying glass and actually cause damage too, so I wonder if that's what happened here also. At any rate, you've created a wonderful photograph and the damaged petals even look nice. The colors are beautifully intense and rich, even the damaged brown is quite rich in color. The lighting is fantastic as well.

yes, rain can play havoc, and it really shows in this flower & its leaves. But you have to know, the capture is gentle & delicate, and you caught all the strange & beautiful permutations of decay. In spots, it almost looks like stained or tinted glass. And the water is delicate too, as is your soft focus in back & surroundings. In fact, the choice to use such a dark background is a fine one, because it solos the flowers and makes them feel like a gift. I'm sorry for your comfrey---I know your spring left a lot to be desired. (Remember that Icelandic volcano, and how it effected Europe's climate; I'm sure that has something to do with it.) But you still transformed a sad half-damaged plant into an object of beauty & delicacy, and that's a statement about you as a photographer. I think it's a beautiful shot.

Beautiful color (even the bruising!) and light, and the drops are stunning. We had an actual summer day here today, too. Amazing!
