I really liked the mixing of the tall white flowers with the short purple crocuses in this flower bed; a sea of white punctuated by purple accents.
This shot took quite a bit of maneuvering to get, because the flower bed is only a couple inches off the ground. There's also a low stone wall just out of frame on the left. I propped two tripod legs on top of the wall, extended the third leg onto the walkway, and reversed the center post to drop the camera to about three inches off the ground. Of course that meant that my face was almost in the dirt, too...
