Flowers!

[shaggy1969]

We are trying to teach Shaggy Thai plants Kathy, posting flowers from Europe will confuse him...

(images supposed to be Thailand only, although many of us, have wondered on occasion! )

Thanks Jimmy.....poor old Shaggy is easily confused

[shaggy1969]

A few more Marigolds

(got it right this time mate )

[shaggy1969]

What's this one then Sensai?

[samuijimmy]

^ oh ! have I opened a can of worms, Shaggy and Kathy !? .... There might be a plant I don't know...

Canna Lily ... here is a couple of other colours!

Canna Lily ......Is that what my last photo was?

Here's another one.this one was difficult to take because of it's size and the dainty little ting kept moving in the breeze.

[samuijimmy]

^ don't know that one Shaggy... you are over taxing me

Here is a Passion vine... this grows in many climate zones... This one I had on Samui, (it died from too much rain, I tink!) ....had the same type back in Canada too...

(I am trying to post an image with a reply... so as not just read text.... in a reply....

I think we should all do that.... especially not to say "I am out of Likes" ... what do you guys say?.... that's getting to be a bit much lately .....

Another water lily shot but I just enjoy the colors that nature graces us with.

[samuijimmy]

^ great light on the lily above Fiddlesticks...

A rose, from my garden, without the glare/ shin one often gets on a rose....

Wonderful photo Fiddlesticks,it almost looks 3-D.

How did you achieve that affect? was that straight from the camera or did you do some PP work?

Hi Shaggy,

Thank you for your kind comments. All of my photos have some post processing adjustments. This is no exception. I do not put in things that were not there but I will make tone, luminance, contrast and saturation adjustments to make the image reflect what I felt at the time I took the image. Glad you enjoyed it.

I am not sure if this one is a flower or a plant,there are a couple of these in our garden minefield.

I just call them Mrs Shaggy's shin wreckers

This is a bit more delicate

Really nice, clear image. Had you not told me it was a flower (or land mine) I would have been scratching my head to figure this one out! It could have been a really weird caterpillar or the like! Anyway, really like it.

[samuijimmy]

^ Sure is weird... be nice to see a pic of the whole plant! Shaggy!

Saw this hibiscus this afternoon, sun light just made the flower stand out!

[shaggy1969]

This is what they look like Jim

Am surprised that you can not see pieces of my skin attached to the horns.

Nasty little devils.......am thinking about buying some shin pads !!!!

This is what they look like with some flash.....the green colour on the ones above comes from the green netting in our roof.

ah ha! now I can see it better.... It's a cactus mutant grafted on to what looks like Euphorbia ...( I know you know exactly what that is!! ) quite common, to see... perhaps not that large!...

Sometimes red ball type cactus on top... you'd probably find them in garden shops in Europe too... (the smaller ones) ....

Spoke with the boss today,it's a Crested Euphorbia (wreckidus shinikus)

(wreckidus shinikus)... very good Shag!

This is same family... sorry it is not very good image...(blurred a bit)

Be aware, white sap is toxic!

[shaggy1969]

^ Didn't know they made flowers mate,how old do the have to be before they can flower?

[samuijimmy]

oh there are many types of Euphorbia..... don't expect yours to flower!

Poinsettia is also a Euphobia.... you know the Christmas plant.

but perhaps we should get into that in Gardening 102.... stick to Gardening 101 for now!

Had to think were I had an image of Poinsettias, .... here we go .... in a park CM.... hmm might submit that to the calender!

They don't last well down here in the south!

[Tywais]

Just saw these suddenly popped up in our front yard. Believe orchids? I know we have a lot of orchid plants around but seem to be slow in blooming. Three large groups of them together.

[samuijimmy]

^ yep orchids..of some type....Tywais, I am not an expert on them, they never do well for me... so I tend not to get to know the types...

You did not need to bring me flowers!

Oh not for me.... oh well...
