Cardinal Flower in a Field & Close Up of Top Blossoms

I love the Cardinal Flower (Lobelia Cardinalis)  The bloom is seen in August and hummingbirds love them for nectar.  The left image was taken at  the Greensboro Arboretum or a field, The right image is from a different angle and close up of the top blossom.  It starts blooming from the base up.  The background for the image on the right is my concrete driveway behind.  I have 5 plants at the base of my mailbox. Editing done with PSE 11.  Left image has vignette applied.,  I probably could have cropped the right image to a square and done a circle black frane but because not much space at the top desided to keep it off center.
