“Magellan Orange” Zinnia (2014-06-26 13-34-09a)
The photo was taken at the Chicago Botanic Garden, Glencoe, Illinois.
I used a Nikon Coolpix P7700 camera to take the photo and Luminar 2018 to edit it. First I cropped the image and used the erase and clone & stamp tools to clean it up. Then I used the RAW Develop filter to raise the contrast and clarity and lowered the highlights and added the Accent-AI filter. Lastly I used the Soft Focus filter on the background and added a vignette.

I love botanical gardens also
Unfortunately ours is very expensive. The good news is that there are a couple of conservatories and other public gardens in the city that are free.
This flower was used for expressing love in 1979.
I’m curious about this. What do you mean?
Can any one tell the the specialty of this flower ?
