Bonjour Gérard, très jolie fleur délicate et printanière que tu nous montres aujourd'hui! J'aime l'ensoleillement et la joie qu'on ressent en la voyant. Merci!

Hello Gerard,
very nice picture of one of my favourite Polygalas - fantastic colours.

Bonjour Gerard,

This is a new plant to me!
I thought it was a blue bell at first, but of course, this flower has a white centre.
Lovely details of the leaves as well as the flowers, which assists in identification.
Your well chosen dof keeps the flower sharp whilst rendering the b/g undistractingly blurred.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)
