I thought we had a thread with this title... however, I'm insane.

Share yours.

Regardless, can you give us names? I regonise Orchid & Sunflower, but if these are yours I'd like to know more.

I don't know the names, some were here when I got here... some were from travels.

These are not my flowers. I do not have flowers. I have some attractive, but unintentional moss on the back porch. The shade and soil composition resulting from the cedar tree kills pretty much everything else.

I really like this one because the colors look much more intense.

I'm a big fan of black eyed susans. This has nothing to do with the Preakness. They are just pretty.

This butterfly was busy getting drunk on nectar.

These are pink. The flower in the top of the frame is clearly happy to see me.

This is one of those "snowball bushes." They probably have a real name, but I've never called them anythying different.

A lot of them are in my parents yard across the street.

I'm firmly in the 'less is more' school of photography.

Me likey, but I can't get down like that or have access to 20' flowers.

my favorite flowers

My flower photos were all taken in my yard, except for the Rose. The rose was at a friend's house.

Roses are beautiful, but thorny, and I dealt with enough pricks while dating to know I don't want them on my property.

This I found in crack in curb across street, went back for seeds was gone. Unknown, maybe rooster comb?

Yeah buster, looks like Cockscomb / Celosia.

Some onamental trees near my home on a drizzly night:

I'm not too familiar with Canon cameras, but does yours have a manual focus?

Your pictures seem to focus on the background, which is a shame because the colours are stimulating, yet fuzzy.

Saw some great ones today, could not work the camera.

sproglet, yes I have manual focus, but not so often use it. Auto focus working fluently and manual I need only evenings.

the "cactus" is actually a succulent called "Stapelia Gigantea" - i have a few types - they smell like something DEAD , great pics to all.

I plant flowers every mother's day in pots along the railing of our deck. This is on of the lilly's (I think) from last year.

These guys are all over Taiwan. Really interesting ... (suddenly drawing a blank on what the middle things are called) ... uhh ... stigma?

stamen?

This is one of my favorite flower pics; I took it while driving into London on one of the M roads to the west. I think it's a field of rapeseed.

He said," Rape." In the south folks once planted rape along with mustard and turnips. I planted some once. Didn't do much for me. But then again, I wasn't making bio-diesel.

Taken this summer

I love this thread.

Bee on a thistle

baby thistle....i'm not good at knowing what settings are best viewed here.

Giant bee on a truffula tree.

Beautiful shot, Bruce. It looks like the lily is just floating there... It is also a very sharply defined photo, I like it.

If I pm you my e-mail can I have the jpegs so I can use these as wallpaper, pretty pweze!?

Is the last photo above (pink, green, red veins) of a Coleus leaf?

Orchids give me the sexorz... am I the only one?

if you mean they remind you of genitalia, i think that most would agree.

ginger and lotus.... delish

Thanks xoBruce. BEaUtIfUL!!!!

May I have the second one, full sized? If so I'll pm you my laptop addy... that is where I would like it.
You are very talented.

Why restraint?

OH MY!

These puffs aren't much to look at .. til you put your red/blue glasses on (red on the left). Shot by hand at the local community college, mixed in Gimp.

T - RRRIFFIC!!!! now i'm glad i kept my granddaugher's 3 - D glasses handy.

How am I supposed to know what you do with your free time?

I guess im spoiled cause my whole house is full of cheap but beautiful ones, but orchids are just... boring to me, really.

Really, really don't like orchids.

Very cool. I'm a big fan o' the 3D pics.

We used to have a 3D thread here somewhere. SteveDallas and I have dabbled in anaglyphs on and off.
