Inspired by Quicksnapper and Lez325 in this thread, how about we have a thread where those of us who are interested in such things can share and discuss some close-ups/macros of flowers, buds, berries, foliage etc?
Or perhaps you would prefer to stick with individual threads. No way of knowing. I'll start this off and lets see if it flies, stumbles or sinks. Then we'll know.

Here is a shot of an Aquilegia I captured in May last year with my SX240is point and shoot.
ISO 200, f/8, 1/500 sec, hand held, available light, Av with exposure compensation -1EV
(Note for dSLR users. f/8 is the smallest aperture available on the point and shoot and bridge cameras with 6mm wide sensors that I use and is roughly equivalent to using f/22 on an APS-C camera in terms of depth of field and detail loss because of diffraction.)

And here is another shot of an Aquilegia, this one captured in February 2008 with my (now deceased) 6 megapixel Canon S3is bridge camera.
ISO (unknown, but probably) 100, f/8, 1/8 sec, tripod, available light, Av with no exposure compensation. These plants are rather small at this stage in their lives and so this shot probably used an achromat (add-on close-up lens), most likely a Raynox 150 or Canon 500D.
