Hi Umar. We have a type of Acanthus in the garden but i am not to sure what type. I do like the shape and colours in the leaves and dark red flowers. It stands out so well from the rocks. Taken with good detail and colours. Well done TFS.

Hi Umar,

The purples and greens are just beautiful! Colors, clarity and composition are all superb. I love the bush against the rocks with the surrounding grasses. This is such a far cry from the brush and cacti that we have here. Here everything is dry and everything you show is so beautifully lush.

Curioso y bello Acanto que yo desconocía. Aquí tenemos otra especie que dificilmente se encuuentra en estado salvaje. Excelente documento.
