Oh that is pretty such a dainty centre

The centre stuck out about an inch.

Wow its a flower with in a flower.

This is Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, Maple ... I have quite a few of these shrubs myself.

Bet they wouldn't grow over here!!

Some people do grow them in their conservatory or greenhouse - they would need a lot of looking after in the cold.

Lovely colour - you must have a good camera Maple.

I love taking picture's, Skillen, when i had the pub two chap's used to come in who were photographer's & one of them got me my first camera, a Cannon EOS 300, which take's the most wonderful pic's but you have to have the film developed. The second one i got & still use is a Fuji FinePix S20. The pic's come out really nice & the Macro is good. I just stick it on auto most of the time.I do prefer the old SLR's though.

Can you still get films developed? My mum is adamant that you can't which I find hard to believe.

Ha ha, yes you can, i'm trying to convert my Dad to digital but it's slow going!!!

Lol M - I thought as much! She said she has asked in all the good photography shops and they have all said they can't do it! I bought her a digital for Christmas and tried to show her how to use it and believe me Maple, THAT was hardgoing!!!!

i love these to, see them alot abroad on hols

can't believe that after i uploaded these pic's i went over to Retford to my parent's house for the usual xmas drink's & took my camera. the photo's that came out were, to say the least, "weird". i googled the effect my camera is suffering from "ccd" it will cost a fortune to get mended, £400 down the drain :(

oh no thats bad maple ;o((

OMG what a nightmare Maple! How old is the camera?! :~(((((
