    So many of you are posting superb photos of flowers in your garden that aren't even giving us buds. We wait and hope we have such fabulous close ups as your photos. We are in a frost pocket and our clay soil takes for ever to warm up.
    As always thank you for continuing this thread with such brilliant close up of your flowers.

    That looks very impressive and very dramatic @bertrand-mabel a wonderful plant without a doubt.

    A dramatic plant and photo, @bertrand-mabel Not so sure about its "fragrance", which the RHS site describes as "foul-smelling, arum-type flowers in spring or summer" :s

    @Sheps It is very impressive and the colour is like ruby velvet but the smell........the flies like it though.
    Agree @Papi Jo

    While you all are great at taking such fabulous close up of flowers how do you take those floowers that are always hanging down? We planted a clematis alpina (having lost one many decades ago) and this one is fantastic but the flowers are all hanging down. If you hold one of the flowers up then you have your hand in the way. What do you do?
  • Some cameras have a viewing screen which you can fold out, so you can hold the camera pointing upwards. With other cameras you might be able to use a mirror. I have never used either method so I don't know how well they would work.
