Hi- I really admire your photographs of flowers and appreciate your posting flowers symbolic for the Christian faith. If I amy make a suggestion, a picture of the old American Columbine, rather than any of the more contemporary hybrids, might do the flower more justice as a symbol. If you wish, I could email you a couple of photographs that I took near the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania. You can really see the tongues of flame.

Peace

serene..there is a beautiful composition in the flower myrtle..the blurring of dandelion and bit of zoom is giving a beautiful impact to the image..

thank you it gives ideas on what flowers can be used to teach children about the beauty of spring and the beauty of nature rebirth in the Lord and to plant around the church as a project with the kids during Sunday school God Bless
