Astrantia 2

Im spending so much time in the garden this year, due to the covid situation and the extraordinary, extended spell of glorious weather, that I 'm noticing all the flowers as they open in far more detail.
Astrantias are fast becoming a favourite and now this one has opened fully, it warrants a 2nd entry,( the first on the 23rd)
As the sun rises it lights this side of the garden while the wall at the back remains in shade. Apparently having the flower in sunlight and the background in shade breaks all the 'rules' for macro flowers but I love the effect
