1. Not sure what this is. I saw it growing in Halifax, NS.

It's a rhododendron of some sort.

Thanks! I'll have to become more conversant with flowers.

I like the backlighting on the second picture. Nice job.

Previously posted this but deleted and readjusted the lighting a bit.

Not sure what this is. It looks a bit like a snapdragon, but I don't think it is.

It's (a very nice photo of) a variety of Monkshood (Aconitum) - don't eat the roots!

Thanks! I shan't eat the roots. I can almost hear the brothers chanting: "Puer Natus Est Nobis!"

An oops scenario...orchid plant tipped onto floor and broke off some blooms. Had to hold them with
some forceps. One is stacked, while the other is part of the stack.ch s more pleasing to the eye? :-\

Personally, I'm inclined to prefer unstacked photos with an emphasis on specific lines and forms within the subject, the rest being well kicked out of focus. In this case, however, I think I prefer the stacked picture. 8)

Put parts of that orchid plant back together using super-glue and PS... :

Hi chauncey.
Best to 'fess up to breaking it before you get found out, unless the superglue has really worked! ;D
Very nice shots by the way.

Cheers, Graham.

My Lei
It's like this, it's an age thingy...I couldn't figure out how to bend the stems without breaking them.
Then Google told me that ya gotta snip the blooms and thread them on string and ya need lots of them.

From my point of view, Photoshop is a lot easier!
