Firstly, I have to thank Lillian for her User Award on my "Love In Idleness".
A little more subtle than my last two bright offerings, here are some pink osteospermums, also known as African Daisies, South African Daisies, Cape Daisies and Blue-Eyed Daisies.
They obviousy belong in the daisy family, and the name is derived from the Greek “osteon” (bone), and the Latin “spermum” (seed).
Thankyou for your continued support for this flower series.
Pamela.
I want to say a public thankyou to Jasmine (xwang) for recognizing the problem I have been encountering with "banding" on my gradient backgrounds. She kindly found someone who provided me with a simple solution and I am very grateful. Thanks, Jasmine.
PS: I should have mentioned that I only had this helpful information a few days ago and therefore still have some flower pictures that show the banding, and this is one of them.

This sparkles......great colours and good lighting............
Beautiful as always. Love how you do your backgrounds. Obviously not using PS7 lol. Really vibrant colours. Sue
An exquisite floral arrangement Pamela, what a gorgeous array of colours and so expertly presented
A lovely image, well composed and your chosen background just right picking up the tones of the flowers. I have ditched many efforts because of the banding, just thought it was me. Although your image shows slight banding it certainly does not distract from those beautiful osteos.

I've noticed a slight banding like this on some of mine - usually where there's a plain blue sky. the only method I've found is to go over it with the Healing Brush tool, but it can finish up looking just as bad or worse!
Anyway, this looks good to me, Pamela, banding of no banding, the subject is very beautiful, like it

Hi, I'm new here so please bear with me! I like the banding as I think it adds to the photo, never have I seen such outstanding flower shots that's for sure! Brilliant Gallery lovely photo's, and thank you for your comment! from you; seeing what you do it means a lot to me, regards Leon.
Stunning work done to a very high standard outstanding.....

Sorry,Pamela. I'm late. Thank you for your "Thanks", it's not a big deal, you've been helping me along since I started. I am the one who shoud be thanking you!
