Most beautiful and nice framing!

nice, I like blueberries but never have seen the blossoms before!

Very well presented!

Shaping up nicely to be my favourite fruit!! (Well, one of them....I like most of them)

This is beautiful, Larry. I'm afraid I've only ever seen blueberries in punnets in the shops!

perfect close up and also very artistic presentation

So this is how they start, I buy these for my Bearded Dragons and I would love to grow them,.so there more vitamin content like the veg and weeds they eat.

Thank you Peter. A little early morning frost made last years leaves a nice color.

Bea, they remind me of the 'Blue Belles' in your part of the world.....the photos that I have seen.

Thanks Foggy

Barbara, I always associate you with Blueberries, so I'll think of you every day for the next 4 months. I like the blooms, and I can't wait until I can start eating fresh berries again. I'm thinking that I'll have to wait at least another month.

Sylvia, if you have room for a big pot, you can grow your own. I only have 5 bushes (still in really big pots) of different varieties which will provide berries daily for more than 3 months. You will have to get the kind that grow in your climate!

Julie, they grow pretty fast after the first year....easy! Just "google" the varieties that grow well in your climate. When I planted mine 3 or 4 years ago, they were just tiny little sticks (got them mail-order) about 15-20 cm. long. Now they are bushes 4½ meters tall. You will get some berries the second year, and lots of berries thereafter.

Thanks Günter. I turned off the image stabilization and put the little camera on a tripod to get a sharper image. My hand held shots from the day before were a little fuzzy.

Already? Great image.

That makes a lovely shot Larry!!..nice one!!!!!.....

Wonderful blossom and a fantastic framing too, Larry..:-))

and very similar with Convallaria majalis!!! but it is very toxic!!

Jo, only two of the five varieties I have are in bloom. They are still in large tubs, so not too many to move under the carport if the temps get down around freezing as forecast for Thursday night. Crossing my fingers!

Thanks Geoff

Thank you Wijnie. "Borders" in Picasa3 supplied the framing.

Bea, I guess they are similar to the "Lily of The Valley" flowers. Didn't know they were toxic!

Lovely!:)

Great photo...Super lighting...colors and backgound...
Wonderful framing. There used to be a blueberry farm near me...but no longer but there is some in driving distance. Love blueberries.

Excellent presentation of these wonderful blossoms.

Thank you Peter. Shooting a photo takes less than a second, but framing them provides the real fun and for me can take 5 or 10 minutes....or more!

WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very imaginative work!:)
Beautiful IMAGE
