Yes, another nifty-fifty thread ... and it has flowers.
Stop now if this is not your cup of tea.
For the rest of us - here we go..............
All shot wide open or at f2

Nothing like red roses...nicely done...where you up early for the dew?

2nd and esp. the last one are just "my cup of tea"!!
very nicely done Thomas!

Twirly/busy bokeh does distract in my opinion from
such beautiful flowers, so I rather have the close up
fully framed - just my taste of course.

The reds are usually difficult, but works very well here.

Thanks bernhardas, Klaus and Mo.
Most of these were taken late in the day but the dewey shots were morning of course.
No, Mo - I am not an early riser but was lucky to find some flowers shaded until a little later.
I am the first to admit that rising earlier would have seen better light and more dew.
Cheers
