    OK Here goes!!!

    Lots of lovely pics.

    1st. Alana - Sunlit. I just loved this one when I saw it - the gorgeous colour of the leaves in the sun and one of my favourite plants.

    2nd. Lyn - Hosta. What a lovely close up of a leaf with it's pattern.

    3rd. Marley. Skin and bones. Bit spooky but very poignant too.

    Thanks everyone! :)

    Some very lovely images here and difficult to decide but these three stood out for me ...

    1st ... Alana ... Exotic (because it truly is)

    2nd ... Marley ... Skin & Bones (unique but fits the brief perfectly)

    3rd ... Shiney ... No Colour Prejudice (I love these Geraniums and the grouping is perfect against the background)
