Comfrey Blossoms Close Up

This is a close up some comfrey blooms taken in my neighbor's yard.   I had some too, but my blossoms were not the brillant purple color that these were. Taken with Jack's 5C iPhone, native camera, HDR.  Post processing with PSE 11, cropped, increased highlights, sharpened, and added small amount of vignette.  There were some artifacts in the leaves, so, used the clone tool to eliminate those.Unfortunately the wood chip mulch in the background is a bit distracting to me. The aperture was f2.5 which is the best shallow depth of field you can get with the 5C.
**This plant is a well known medicinal herb.  For more info go to
