A wonderful jewel like quality. I love it!!

Lovely, great variety of colours and very detailed

Thank you Cas, I saw this flower border in mid September and was really impressed by how fresh and lively the flowers were - it was a lovely excuse to use lots of colour! Thank you for your fantastic compliment :)

Thank you David, full credit to the gardener for planting such a colourful and interesting range of flowers! I really enjoyed the challenge of painting small but getting everything in. Thank you for taking the time to post such a lovely comment.

Wow, Beautiful! :)
