    This was the hardest yet to vote on. Had a short-list of 10!!! Fantastic pics by all - was really difficult to choose just 3. Here goes:

    1. Suedobie - phalaenopsis
    2. Juliet - Gertrude Jekyll
    3. Bananaman - Pink Power

    (Marge - your marigold was a very close fourth, really good pic)
    Better submit before I change my mind -again!!

    Impossible task, but I have gone for the three that I like best and that score well for colour, composition and sharpness

    1st - Marge's Fuschia. Great composition
    2nd - Fran's Iris. So sharp
    3rd - Frogesque's Chocolate Cosmos. Yummy!
