You mentioned birthday candles. That's what I always think of when I look at this coneflower pic I took. But how did all those eye-hooks get in there?
Nancy, somebody's pretty old LOL

Back lite Black Jack Lillium
tazzy, that's an amazing photo
thank you .i like to lay on ground and shoot up through flower-with sun behind ,
working on different shots , have to start up in Spring again i moved and no bloom till next year
If I laid on the ground, somebody would have to come in the spring to get me up, because I'd still be laying there LOL
do you have any more? or do you post them over on the photo forum?
I will look and DH has to get me up a lot off ground
64 year old body fights my 29 year old ideas LOL

(oxalis Rio de Janeiro)
Zest;
that is a nice looking plant
very good shot
Zest, if you hadn't said it was oxalis I never would have guessed. It's pretty so close up.
gram
Oh, I agree! VERY pretty!
Thanks, it is a very nice oxalis, it has roots instead of bulbs.
How quickly these threads get lost!
Here's some moss between the stones in my garden.......
Velvety carpet.
Dianthus.
Scissory (new word). Or spikey. (established word). Sharp.
Nancy, what kind of moss is that? looks neat?
Speaking of textures, My DH and I love them.
This mix is ajuga, creeping jenny, and some kind of low growing spreading sedum.
Grows on east side of house-only gets a brief amount of early morning sun.
Deanna
Kind? Moss comes in kinds? Hmmmm. I have no idea.
But I was out with my camera today. My son's grapes looked like balloons to me.
And the back side of this maple leaf with it's raindrops reminds me of alligator skin.
OOps! Don't know why pic didn't post!
Deanna, really pretty mix of colors & textures! like a tapestry.
nancy, there are lots of different mosses. here's a web site for a place that sells them. i think they're neat, but I'd grow almost anything LOL

Preckled?
Hey Zest~ is that natural (and is preckled a word?) : ) pod
Ups sorry was writting to fast, I meant freckled.
It is natural, maybe caused by a virus?
What kind of plant, if you don't mind my asking? For me the virus is the dreaded "typo" virus. : ) pod
Hi Pod.
Not sure what tree it is, took the photo on a walk. But think is it maple
soft
Salgenella
Gram, that's a terrific link! Love that moss. So soft, and such a pretty color.
Zest, How cool it is that you though of the Texture thread while out for a walk with your camera! I do the same thing. See what you've done, Sanannie?
Dale,
I love the "soft" feeling of this foliage. I have never heard of Salgenella. Is it a shrub?
Hardy just in the south? Love the texture and color. Think I'll check the plant files.
DeannaV
This is the neatest thread!!!
wet corduroy
tears on velvet
Deanna,
It is a tropical moss (some are sub tropical). Not a common plant even here in the warmer parts of the USA. The one in my photo grows to about 12" most are not that tall.
Confetti
.
tazzy, does that corduroy swish when you walk? lol
Dale, it's so neat to see croton growing outside. I just got one for my sunroom. the colors are fantastic. confetti, indeed!
