Plants of my garden

http://www.flickr.com/photos/mihara-kokonoe-tama/sets/72157594244001861/

The above is all pics from my garden, old and new. It is mostly close up pics rather than "landscapes", I do tend to take more close ups, possibly because I am as blind as a bat and that is nearer to my way of seeing the world, lol.
Hope just posting a link is ok for the forum people!

 

Some interesting plants there Ivory, I would grow Stapelias if I had no sense of smell.:D I hope they have all settled down with you.

 

Nice plants, but the photography really stands out to me.

 

Some cracking shots Ivory my fav is Sempervivum atroviolaceum.

That reminds me i,ve seriously got to get a decent camera:(

 

Good shots Ivory some nice stuff there.

 

Lovely pictures Ivory

 

Thank you very much!

Slinky:

I love taking pictures, but it is a no-no-no!-budget hobby for me, so I am actually using a rather cheap pocket camera, nothing very sophisticated. I wish I could take macro pics, but actually most of the times I find that good light is more important than the equipment one uses. A good camera helps, but the eye is more important than the camera!

 

Thank you for the tip Ivory,much apreciated

 

You are welcome,not much of a tip tho. Ihave really not much wisdom in photography!

Strongylodon:

Forgot to answer earlier, I grow several stapelias,and have no problem with them.But they spend summer outside in the garden,and bloom in open air, which is ok. A friend of mine had stapelias in her green house, a flower as small as a five euro cent coin could make the all place severely unpleasant (I am being polite here)! The trick is keeping them somewhere airy, lol.

 

That is very true, although I would still like to know what make and model is Ivory's camera...

 

Can never remember. I will fetch it.

Fujifilm - FinePix - A340
4.0 megapixels - 3x optical zoom

I know nothing of cameras, the only thing I checked when I bought this one is how close I could go the subject and keep it in focus. It is some 8-10 cm with this, which is nice, but not a macro, sniff. I think it costed some 75 or 80 Euros,but it's a couple of years old so I am not sure. Anyway, I am very fond of my Fine Pix (no pun intended!).

... is the corner of my garden that I intend to turn into my own little tropical corner...
Talk of wild dreams!

 

A nice corner ivory.

Looks a little shady though.

 

It gets sun from morning to 1 am (this pic was taken in the afternoon). SO I guess it should do, while not being ideal. The other places I could dedicate to this project are so windswept that the only exotic things I could grow there are cacti. So I guess I will try here. When I have a good hedge on the west border (10 years... eeek) things may change.

 

Yeah go for it.
