Gladiolus flowers come in many different bright colors. One gladiolus is blooming with pink flowers. Taking a macro photo with a flash has helped to enhance the pink in the flower as well as the details in the center of the flower.
I found that taking photos of complementary colors is pleasing to the eyes. Yellow/orange and cyan are a pair of complementary colors. The leaves and flowers of the silver brocade perennial plants form such beautiful mix.
