Greg, sure will do. My son and I are impatiently waiting for the blooming. When it does, it's like heaven on earth. There's an indescribable sweet smell with all those bees around...

Finally got around to take a quick shot of some flowers in the front and backyard.
From the front yard, a kind of rose. Not sure which one.

Re: Flowers 2011 (Photoclubalpha Flora)
Those are nice Mark, I think Yildiz might know what rose/flower that is.
I didn't have a lot of time to do photographs myself, there was an emergency with a tree that was leaning heavily against the front fence (cyclone affected), I think all the rain recently had made the situation worse and the roots were already partially strained by the cyclone. I had to climb twenty feet up the tree and put a chain around it to pull it back before it broke the fence.

I snuck out in the drizzle late in the arv, so nothing marvellous.

Hi Mark, : )
That lovely blossom is a variety of Camellia. A striking one too!

Hi Greg, : )
I see that I was not wrong at all! These lovely flowers look all the more vibrant under a drizzle. Good closeups.
---------------------------
Hi Dr. Harout and Daniel.
Already gorgeous colours...and tomatoes! : ) I'm lookşng forward to seeing your heavenly garden when all fruit trees start to pop their scentful and enigmaticly enchanting blossoms.

Hi John and Emma, : )
Hmmm, daddy spying...
Nice to see Emma's interest in photograpy. Good low angle and scope for covering the wide range of wild flowers.
Thanks for sharing all,
Yildiz

Re: Flowers 2011 (Photoclubalpha Flora)
Camellia, ah, thank you Yildiz!
Hi Greg, it was kind of wet I see! Too bad the stuff with the tree! How did you manage to secure it eventually?

Hi Mark, I'll post a little thread with a couple of photos in it on the tree problem. Quite a few flowering trees have now gone since the cyclone.

Re: Flowers 2011 (Photoclubalpha Flora)
So sorry to hear them gone, Greg.
Hopefully there'll be some nice ones planted to revive the garden.
I was able to shoot a few today... : )
Tulips that line our streets and some white and pink Quince flowers...

Re: Flowers 2011 (Photoclubalpha Flora)
Pure beauty. Splendid Yildiz.
Re: Flowers 2011 (Photoclubalpha Flora)
Very sad to know you've lost those trees Greg, hope you're able to replant.
Beautiful shots Yildiz . Especially like the blossom. I think tue tulips in the street are even better than last year. Obviously responding to the extra exposure you have given them around the world .

Re: Flowers 2011 (Photoclubalpha Flora)
Thank you, Dr. Harout and Birma.
As usual, you're too kind. : ) But I like the genuine innocense the blossoms come with as well.
Birma, you may be only too right about the beauty of this year's tulips and primroses that line the streets; the wider range of exposure from last year returned some better caring and vivid colours this season. : )

Re: Flowers 2011 (Photoclubalpha Flora)
Here are three from March, all using the NEX-5 with 16mm and adaptors. The primrose and town hall is at f/10, wide-angle adaptor; the crocuses and church, at f/13 with the fisheye. The daffodil with sunburst is at f/20, with the fisheye. Fitting either of these attachments improves the close focus limit, as with any afocals, though the magnifications remains very similar.

Re: Flowers 2011 (Photoclubalpha Flora)
Thanks for the comisserations Yildiz, Birma, it is a sad time loosing so many trees that have been around for so long.
Lovely assembly of shots Yildiz, that looks like a happy time with all those pretty flowers coming out.
Those are nice and sharp David, for those deep f-stops. Very nicely done.
