Thanks Greg .

These are perhaps no strickly 'flowers' but the grass equivalent.

I think this is some form of Plantain grass.

My guess here is Common Bent-grass.

Very nice shots Birma with lovely bokeh. Very pleasing to the eye.

Even your 'weeds' a pretty Birma, nice pix, those long stems are rotten to take when its windy.

Thanks DA and Greg .

It was sadly a bit too windy for ideal macro conditions, so I was up to ISO 800 to try and get speeds 1/200+. I was pleasantly surprised with ISO800 on the Nex 5.

Hello contributors,

This particular thread nourished and blossomed into a real flower and weed garden thanks to you all! Quite a documentation of the stretches of valleys and all that found a place to bloom.

Birma, your consistent uploads worked like true magic; I especially like your pointing to a certain lens or camera which also help me make some observations.


Thanks everyone for the flowers and weeds that take over your gardens. : ))

Hi JBTaylor,

Inspirational! Inspirational!

Congratulations to your wife. She's doing a wonderful job of creating beautiful gardens with loveliest flower species. Isn't there a contest where she can run for the 1st place?
Lovely colours and details captured through your smart photography, JB.

Thanks for sharing,

Thank you, JBTaylor.

They look great. The A900 doing wonders with Zeiss lenses as usual.

I'm also fine thank you. I'm almost recovering from the shock of the past weeks...Otherwise, I'm myself just the way you'd expect of me to be.

Thanks for sharing.




Hi Tetragra, : )

Welcome to the forum. Nice Rose Of Sharons indeed, plus a bee that I can see. I believe this flower plant is also called Hibiscus. I used to have one growing in my balcony.

Thanks for sharing,,
