Fascinating pics everyone.  Well done.

That fargesia on the dark background is superb!!

Cliff,

Love that purple pulsatilla in your last posting.  Those little hairy details are excellent!!  ;D

Just for you, Cliff.

Yes, Mick, love the physalis though I think I would have eaten it first.

Very nice Mick, really quite 'up close and personal'. Anemones seem particularily photogenetic, that big and bright round ball in the middle makes for a good focal point.

Interesting effect Paddy, I wouldn't be surprised if you said you painted that!

Thanks for starting this thread, Cliff.  Now I can post a couple of pics that didn't seem to fit anywhere else!  Lovely pictures all those posted previously.

1&2 Evening shadows on the fridge door last June.
3&4 Hippeastrum in February 2007 - always photogenic.
Last Meconopsis x cookei 'Old Rose' looks good with a purple leaved geranium.

So pretty, Paddy, but be careful, you'll set off a new round of tulipmania!
