It's a bit 'pinker' than I was hoping for yet, but I think as it opens the more terracotta hues should come through. I am fighting with Lupin aphids to save the other buds.

Everything is worth photographing - it's about what's special to you....and a good photoediting suite (that's a joke)!
I took loads of photos of my stuff, simply because I didn't have a clue as to what they were and was trying to build up a 'library' of plant images to help me identify what my wife had planted where.
Edited: Bolted in a search of my (wifes's) plants by the photos - as i can never remember what they are by name anyway!

Yes, you have to be vigilant with those aphids and check your lupins every single day. I once lost 3 specimens in a couple of days, totally eaten up by them little critters.
@Nollie - your garden is looking fabulous. Now - can you shove the jet stream a bit further towards the UK so we can get out of this depressing low that we are in and our plants can start to make some progress towards yours!

I love looking at this thread. It gives me hope I might eventually have something worth photographing and posting from my garden...
