very nice--and rather delicate colour for this species ;) a friend in nebraska just showed his plant of the same flowering on another forum, guess they are in synch...

a couple of interesting details on succulents, grown indoors here...
the first is interesting stem texture on
Echeveria nodulosa
or some cultivar/hybrid thereof... this is perhaps how it got the species name?
second is leaf colour/markings on a grass aloe
Aloe myriacantha
leaves no more than about 1/4inch wide

Slightly different angle to this thread.

Today at the Peterborough International Orchid show today were these orchids framed. 8)

Rather nice I thought.

I've seen that done here at an orchid show too.  Very effective, isn't it?

caltha just seem to invite mannered shots, especially those growing in semi shady spots among willows as these are, with a lot of contrasting light effects...

Cliff,
of course! It's amazing what a few software instructions can make over an natural image to appear it artificial.
Thanks you like my tulip whittallii in particular.
