Macro Monday winter blooms

IMG_6986


I am really enjoying my first Amaryllis.  And Valentine's Day seemed like a good time to share the gorgeous red blooms.  Happy Valentine's day!

The blooms are a nice splash of color against the dreary winter.

I also extremely excited with my hibiscus plant deciding to bloom. Woohoo! Color!

Macro Monday is easy to play, snap a macro (or any close-up) photo, post it on your blog and come back here and sign MckLinky. :) MM started on Sept 29, 2008 - Thanx to all of you for helping make it such a fun start to the week!

    Great macro! But what happened to MckLinky? Does this mean that no one is going to see my gorgeous Galapgos lizard!?!

    You could drown in those glorious pools of colour you have put up for us.
    Maybe you enticed Mr. Linky and he stepped over the edge :-)
    You're laughing at us, aren't you ?

    Have a wonderful Valentines' day! I can't wait until I can find some color around here. It is all green (pine trees), brown (mud) and sometimes still white (snow). Yep, I could really use some color!! I love your shots. Those flowers are amazing!

    We have a red hibiscus plant here by our Florida house, but it froze during December when we were below freezing! In March we'll cut it down to the ground, and soon it'll be growing and blooming again.

    Filamen are such an interesting subject to capture, it's easier with my prosumer Canon S5 with a Raynox macro lens but with a newer DSLR Pentax Kr, it;s a bit difficult with just the kit lens, Need to purchase a macro lens soon.

    MY MACRO IS what they call "Fakeshaw"....it's supposed to be a mock-up, fake, version of bone carvings....the real stuff, scrimshaw. Nautical.

    More importantly, watering at these times actually helps the plant retain water.Best karachi nursery If you water in the afternoon, especially during summer, the heat and sun are at their peak and the plant's water will evaporate instead of absorbing into the soil and roots.

    Similarly trim down cleaned plastic soda or water bottles to use under smaller pots.Plants suitable for karachi Plastic refrigerator storage containers that have lost their lids make a cheap alternative to plant saucers. Some premade pie crusts or purchased pies have sturdy pie plates that make good drip trays for single containers.
