Oooh....thats lovely Louis....a beauty!!

Pretty pic, Louis :o)

I like this,the foliage and flowers complement each other so well.Is this an indoor plant,as not familiar with it...

wow the detail realy stands out like this.... Bloomer it is a tender plant...but it is also very very poisonus..

how unusal. lovely though

Thank you Amblealice, Terratoonie, Bloomer, Sandra and Yorkshire....:))

Sandra, thanks for passing on the information to Blloomer. This print looks nicer in it's original size which is much bigger............ My next print, is of my favourite canna, which is the Cleopatra. Sadly, I lost it last year, but just as well I took a couple of pictures. I have some more on order, can't wait !!! :-)

Knock-out photo! Did you take this at night or inside w dark back drop...really great looking photo and plant.

Thank you Tasteyq. This picture was taken in my garden in the middle of the day. I remove the leafs, the background and anything else I do not want to include in my prints.
I will post the original picture, for you to see......... :-)

Beautiful Louis...:>)

Thank you Motinot :-)

looks like one of those botanical prints, well done

Thank you Mageth......:))

my fav Drama Queen of the garden....It shows your photographic genius that you photographed it in darkness! great plant...beautiful pic. I have a pic of one that I grew from seed two summers ago...it was 8 ft. tall~! and that's no fish story! lol.

Thank you Lori,....How are you doing these days? These plants can grow that high, given the right conditions :))

It seemed quite happy, Louis. I was a little leary given how poisonous the seeds are... but it grew happily and bloomed but our cold climate killed the plant before the seeds had time to ripen.

That happened to my one as well Lori, but that's gardening for you :).......

it looks very nice, what is it called

Thank you Xavia. It's called Ricinus Communis, and the common name is "The Castor Oil Plant". It should grow very well where you are in Pretoria :-)
