What a beauty, gone into faves.

I am constantly amazed at the pics of your plants Meanie! Simply amazing!!

Thank you all for your replies! It's another of the seasons highlights for me!

Have you checked out Plantaholics garden Sticki!

I'm pleased as punch with it Homebird!

off there now!!!

And the colour is wonderful too Meanie.....

Quite amazing that plantaholic! Thanks meanie!

Thanks Motinot!

Lots of interesting things there Sticki! My next thing to look forward to is my Lycoris maybe. Just found buds on my last Toad Lily too.........

It's like opening a new beautifully illustrated book each day, turning over the page and finding something else new. I saw the toad lily too - why does it have such a name?

Maybe it was given it's common name by someone who once kissed a toad!!

i think it certainly has something to do with handsome princes ~ or toads??

Wow! What a beautiful flower and photo!

wonders never cease do they!

Thank you Delonix and Lulu!
Taken in full sun with fill in flash.

is that with DSLR? I think I can only do flash ~ dont think there are any options to have limited flash??

Yes it is Sticki - time to get the manual out maybe?

ok, i shall have to look it up!!
my camera isnt a DSLR ~ next best thing apparently.

Should be possible then.........

its a canon powershot G10 I shall look on google.

hey meanie ~ thank you!!! have found out it is possible on my camera!! had no idea!! great! thank you.

There's so many functions..............

i know that there are loads more than i know how to use ~ its knowing which to look for!!!
i dont know enough [even about things i dont know] have i confused you enough for one day??

Stickie I have the same problem with my camera, so many little windows to go into and when I can't find anything I ask Gerry, he's the logical one.....I'm the illogical one LOL.....I do try to sort things out myself but when it comes to electronic things I'm useless.......!!!! Superb flower, looks tropical to me.

Stunning picture Meanie and an lovely plant.

Thanks for your comment Linda! I find google very helpful!
Even the plumber checked google the other day for something to do with the boiler!

Elegans is elegant Menie

Thanks all!
