Happy Sunday y’all! #Repost @flowerpowerdaily_ ・・・ This photo of a “salad burnet flower” by Ian Gilmour won 2nd place at the International Garden Photographer of the Year awards. “It is only with a macro lens that the true beauty of these tiny flowers of Sanguisorba minor can be appreciated,” said Gilmour who took this shot in West Yorkshire, England. These images are currently being shown at Sissinghurst Castle (@sissinghurstcastlegardennt) as part of the International Garden Photographer of the Year awards, which is the world's premier competition and exhibition specializing in garden, plant and flower photography. 🌼 It is supported by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, London. The main exhibition is held annually at Kew (@kewgardens), with a rolling program of touring exhibitions in the UK and all over the world. Other announcements will come February 7th for different categories. 🌸 Entries are welcome from amateurs and professionals alike, from any country in the world. The competition attracts 20,000 entries annually. 🍃 The main competition closes on October 31st every year. Maybe some of your fab shots of flowers can be submitted. Why not?
