Beautiful work as usual, Bernz. Love the third one. I find the first one a little scary looking, don't know why.

Wow Bernz the first one is a stunner for sure, so much detail in that whatever it is lol but it's a great photograph and the flowers are so clear and lovely colours. You are doing some great work buddy and it all very pleasing to the eye.

Dave.

Nice captures Bernz, yes, I think it's an orchid. Beautiful, just beautiful.

Bernz the first one should be in a plant brochure the details are so clear. I love the colours of the last two. I will have to come down and visit the Botanical Gardens there looks to be plenty of photo opportunities.

Great set of shots. I must learn about this framing caper as it really sets the pictures up.

Not sure many people know it but each Crocus flower produces 3 stamens which provide the most expensive spice on the planet.........SAFFRON. Maybe you should've grabbed the stamens when you were shooting it.

Not a huge fan of the ponga - not your photos, they're great - just that the silver fern is so symbolic of the All Blacks and you know how we Wallabies fans are obliged to feel about that.

All the best.
