What's with the off-topic spamalike signature, David - or is that Brian? But welcome anyway.

Jack,
I believe that Lois made reference to the signature of a deleted post (spam) not to your signature.
That is correct. I have removed the post & suspended that member until his/her spam signature is removed
-
Oh, please forgive me then Lois. I did not have the opportunity to see the previous post or signature.
I thought I was being made fun of and didn't understand how a post enjoying flowers could turn to controversy
I only wanted to post pretty pictures

No need to apologise at all - the post being deleted in the mean time made it very confusing. And thanks for cheering up my day with such beauty

PassionFlowers

I love passion flowers. They have got to be the most interesting and different looking flowers of all time (at least in my humble opinion). Great shots!
-
Thank you very much, and I agree, they are amazing flowers.
I sent these photos to my parents over in California, and they loved them, but what was interesting is my father (82 years old) is eating a supplement for insomnia that has Passion Flower in it.
Apparently, not only is Passion Flower stunning in its beauty, but it also has medicinal properties to it ...

It's been cold near Lake Erie, so there aren't many flowers as yet. This flower was one of about 4 or 5 in several acres of forest. I don't know the type, but the size is about half an inch wide.

Round-lobed hepatica. One of the first flowers out in the spring in that part of the world. They'll even push their way out through the snow...
Mike.
P.S. Nice work!

Here is one I took of a Butterfly Blue, just starting to bloom ...

That's a very odd-looking flower, Jack. I don't think they have time to grow that much here.
Here's another - the only other flower I've seen this spring. It's a small cluster right on the ground, and I would have preferred some surrounding foliage, but no such luck. I used the LX3 macro for this and the other flower, with aperture priority f8. I'm not a fan of rapid DOF falloff, at least on clusters of flowers.

Yes, it has a bizzare look to it, especially with the black background created by the ringlight flash.
Sorry there's no foliage to go with your flowers, but in a way it is rather nice also. I think emerging flowers from a past cold is very symbolic and evocative, actually.
