If you’re mad about photographing plants and flowers then you’ll love this year’s winning entries from the Royal Horticultural Society’s Photographic competition. The competition celebrates the beauty of gardens and wildlife and attracts thousands of entries from amateur and professional photographers. The winner of the Plants and overall adult contest winner was Sanjay Jani with his beautifully evocative image of Saffron crocuses shot in Iowas City, Iowa which spotted growing close to a wall at golden hour.
