Really nice color here. I wish the two flowers on the right were more in focus, although I realize you probably wanted to limit your DOF in order to nicely blur the background. What kind of flowers are these?

The flowers are called "broken hearts" in Finnish, I'm not sure what the plant is in English. It is commonly used in gardens, but fortunately no obvious garnener's hand is visible in the photo so I posted it. It is a very beautiful flower, and something that my Epson 700 refuses to print properly (the colour changes radically).

Here they're called "bleeding hearts" -- Dicentra sp.
