Black & White Flower Photos

I am a member of the Sackville Photography Club.  Each month we have a different theme, and all members are asked to submit photos relating to that theme for the next months slideshow.  This month's theme is Black and White.

I started converting some of my existing digital photos to monochrome to see what worked and what didn't.  I was surprised by how many of my flower pictures looked better in black and white than in color.  This was a bit of a shock, because I thought the color was the reason I liked these pictures. It turns out that wasn't the case at all.
