I should know the name of this seeing as I planted it

Just love the colour. Interesting to note the edge effect (like a blue blur) on the left and right flowers. There was a gentle breeze and it was fairly well shaded when I took the photo, so maybe that's why?

Nice flowers. I like the composition with the green metal fence. I have tons of flowers that I purchased and planted, and know the names of hardly any of them.

Those are some nice flowers Steve. However I am wondering about that blue blurr you mentioned. Could be the wind...dunno. The center flower does not seem to be affected.

The blue blurr can be a result of camera shake and/or the slight breeze if the shutter speed was slow.

Dunno the answer. Could be that shade (which is the same on the 2 outside ones, but different to the middle) causes my camera sensor to get a bit confused. I know that some blues and blu-greens in minerals can cause some problems. Or Sue could be right coz it was in a dark spot.
