A lovely shot capturing the falling cluster. Not my favorite flower though. More heavy rain and Black skies here today :(

@observing: That plant needs / wants a lot of space, nothing for small gardens! A bit of rain would be great here too, my nose starts itching again...

A really pretty flower, I'm sure the snails and slugs in my garden would enjoy it too!

@MaryB: You bet! It has quite fleshy leaves.

I love the composition and framing here. What a beautiful shade of red these stems have. And the muted lavender of the flowers' petals complement them well.

@Steven: There was a lot of these flowers, this is just a small snippet. It needs much space. :)
