Default The Secret Life of Plants

The large versions show A LOT more detail... and thus more "secrets".

Nice series. That third one, the colors are just knock out. Good captures.

Thanks for sharing. It now makes me want to get my macro lenses out and go to the Auckland Winter Gardens in the domain & get up close with a few flowers LOL.

Thank you for sharing these beautiful and wonderful shots. They are an inspiration. And it makes one wonder what else we are missing out on seeing in this great world of ours.

Very nice. I particularly love the first one. I live in S.C. and need to get down to Brookgreen Gardens for some photos. I got some shots at the nearby Huntington State Park earlier in the year. Its a pretty area.
