This caught my eye, this morning... Bougie growing in a palm

[bundycat]

everlastings and Cezanne ..we all should take time to smell the flowers...then eat them

[samuijimmy]

Wonder why the thumbnail not showing BC... great image though! ^^^ We should all spend more time smelling the "roses"

Not sure the name of this.... perhaps Shaggy knows?

[tolsti]

it look similar to one I came across and asked about here http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/784068-plant-id-please/

Hoya, Waxplant, Waxflower or Waxvine (Hoya imperialis)

Hoya doing?

I know it's not a Hoya!!!..... Hoya's have waxy dark green hanging foliage and a beautiful scent when it flowers .... (Sorry to disappoint on that one... ) ....

Next time I see the plant I will get a picture of the whole shrub...

Meanwhile, I have been trying to get a decent shot of this orchid .... several have not turned out well... I think I nailed it today! (???)

Over the wall

[samuijimmy]

Here the foliage of that plant, which is not Hoya!..... which I posted before! This was out side the nursery just down the road from me.... happened to notice this afternoon

I'll try and catch the owner sometime... he's rarely there as they are bizzy landscaping...

SJ...Being this threads resident horticulturist can you ID this plant?

I posted the odd looking "flower" a good while back and have been

meaning to ask you what this is ever since.

[samuijimmy]

I know it Sunshine, supposed to bring good luck to the house, from what I understand.... but no idea of the name...

I'll add to my must find out list!

Mean while a flower from the Canon Ball tree!

[shaggy1969]

What's the real name of the cannonball tree Jimmy?Saw one of those tree's at a temple in Udon last year,will try and find the pic I took.

Meanwhile......some of Mrs Shaggy's chrysanthemums.

Too hot here on Samui for chrysanthemums... only see as cut flowers!

Here's more facts than you might want to know.... easy to Google when one has a name... ... Canon ball tree = Couroupita guianensis....

^^^ SJ...you & zen are gentlemen & scholars....thanks heaps!

[bundycat]

blue bougie ..awesome

[bundycat]

some experiments with macor..comments/suggestions very welcome.. +

and in black and white

[shaggy1969]

^ bundycat,I like the colour version the best,my thoughts are maybe to ease up a bit on the sharpening,it looks a wee bit forced.

I know this because I would do the very same thing! Nice to see you caring about your images!

Is everyone sick of seeing Lotuses and sunrises yet? Sorry folks but here's another one

[bundycat]

thanks for the comment shaggy...I need new specs too!!

[bundycat]

I seem to have an issue with focus and hence overcompensate with 'sharpness'..gotta work on that I guess...

A good tip is to apply sharpness as the last editing step...sharpen after the resize.

Contrast plays a role in perceived sharpness too.

Just thought I'd throw that in, in the hope it may be of help to you.

Now I am stuck on this one....

Oh by the way, that blue bougie posted above, .... me thinks you played with the colour hues a bit too much???

Vine, bloomin' around Samui right now! .... my memory is fading on some plant names !

[bundycat]

yeah SJ a smudge tooo much blue..tho had some of my FB friends convinced ..haha..

So proteas must be able to grow in many climates. I always thought they were dry /sandy likers ! thanks

Lighting was just right to get a good contrast and saturation.
