Darker due to the flash, the blue petunias become electric in the dusk light.

Thank you each. When the dark comes the garden becomes a new wonderland. I plant for these intense night colors in fall. I love it, a rare treat up here.

I love it with the white for contrast. Makes the blue that much more intense.

Beautiful Gt, its strange how when dusk comes, the flowers light up, do you have long evenings at the mo?

Thanks MG, the wild achillea here are such a perfect white too.
And thank you Janey :-) All night evenings right now. Still no darkness so nice deep dusk from 11-3am. I wanted the michaelmas daisies (which might not even get to flower) blooming now, a favorite bloom in dusk light to me. I put on the motion light so the garden gets lit up for the passer-by's.

Wow...you did that one right, Gt.... and the stark white yarrow in the foreground makes it even more powerful!! my favourite feature of these petunias (as I've probably said a million times before~to your utter boredom~ lol...) is their scent...mmmmm...smells like summer.

Thanks Lori! I do grow them mainly for scent. There are people that turn up their nose when I describe petunia to them, I guess a little to common. But the smell takes me back to vacations and grandmothers porch where they were always hot and smelly. :-) I love it. The whole garden is more 'floral' from them.
