There aren’t that many really great pale blue flowers; the object of the game for the plant is to attract the bugs’ attention, which is tough if you blend with the sky. Hydrangeas are a notable exception. Shot with a new camera setup, too.

Here’s an interesting side-effect: neither of these are cropped. The composition I got by moving the camera around was the one I decided to stay with.
