Garden Flowers & Plants… a communal thread!

I did breakfast this morning for my son and I.
As I was starting the eggs, I remembered that
there are chives in the garden. I took a knife
and rushed out to come rushing in again and,
all excited, picked any camera to set the 105
macro on and out again on this grey morning.

In German they are called Polar Stern (northern
star) and this is the first day they are opened!

Went back in to finish the breakfast and, at the
end, I realized I forgot all about the chives!

If it doesn't move,
it is most probably a plant…
and a nice one at that!

Welcome Fi!

Our Cacti/Cactuses sometimes bloom altogether but this year they seem a bit un-coordinated.

Here's the first, which sadly will only last a couple of days.

Thanks people.

These are nice…

thought the first one is much nicer because is
has a BG so it doesn't look like a studio shot!

 

[badlywornroy]

Thanks Kodiak,

The 'studio shot' is just shot in front of a black drape. I have never had or will ever have a studio.

 

[Kodiak Qc]

Roy, the black drape makes it look like (I said) and
images are all about looks!

 

[badlywornroy]

I wasn't taking you to task Kodiak, just explaining how I took the pic.

P.S perhaps I used your 1st pic as inspiration ?

 

[Kodiak Qc]

taking you to task

I try to have that translated but cannot understand it

Anyway, the centre of the flower has a stupendous glow to it!

…latest sunbeam…

 

[Grahamlljones]

This is my first post having just joined, I took this one morning trying to get the mushroom but got the grass instead, however I like the dewdrops on the grass so kept it!

Any comments welcome

 

[badlywornroy]

I did post this in the 'General' thread in feb but it's natural home is here.

…and a man's old one…

 

[Kodiak Qc]

•


This single bloom, which seems to be the other variation
thread opening flower, has the merit of better colours and
natural BG though the vignette is a little heavy shall I say?

I love both varieties!

 

[badlywornroy]

Couple more.
