A splendid job with sunlight effects. That's usually a challenge and hard to achieve. That brilliant contrast showcases the banner, let alone the flower combination. Love it.

Thank you everyone! Smiling

I didn't know about Bulbine, till a friend gave me some 5 yrs ago.
It has since spread without any help from me, and blooms almost
year round.

This group is on the side of a small hill in our backyard.
The hill was originally covered with red apple, but a fungus killed
the red apple, so I've tried to re-establish other plants, e.g. the
daffodils & bulbine, as well as nasturtium & alyssum.

They're especially pretty as the sun hits
them late morning, while the hill is in shadow, and the blooms in
the sunlight.
Here are a few more images....
