Here is a photo of a Canna yet to bloom.
There’s something rather plain about it, and yet I can’t help but find myself interested in how it appears. Perhaps its the way the plant almost appears as though it already is in some sort of bloom.

This is my submission into the one hundred-and-forty-seventh Lens-Artists Photo Challenge.

The theme for this one is “Gardens“.

Whilst this photo focuses on a specific plant, this was taken in The Royal Botanic Garden, so I feel that it fits, albeit in a rather loose way.

Admittedly this was not my first choice. The one I wanted to share was this one. I was going to say something about how the bee can be seen as a gardener, but then I realised I already shared the photo, hence the one below instead.

The challenge is hosted by four people and cycles weekly:

Week 1 – Patti

Week 2 – Ann-Christine aka Leya

Week 3 – Amy

Week 4 – Tina

This week’s challenge is curated by Amy. Next week Leya is curating.

The challenges are pretty fun and there’s a lot of room for interpretation that doesn’t get in the way of enjoyment. If you’re into photography, then I suggest participating, or at the least checking out what other people are submitting.

I hope you enjoy.
