Interesting set

What kind of plant is the red/pink flower from on #1 and on the last one the dried leaf, is that the plant or was it woven?

They are all lovely photos but my favourite is the first one - really pretty and unusual which has given me inspiration to visit my Sis who lives less than 5 mins walk from Kew Gardens in London.

Sorry, don't know what the pink flower is but I'll try to find out. Might be in my notebook.

The last one is the plant in it's natural state.

These were taken in a green house near where I used to work.

Nice images! I liked the pink flower, too. Very nicely captured.

Thanks for the encouragement everyone. Is it just me or do you folks get little appreciation for stuff like this from your families too? I have these four printed and mounted on my dining room wall but they pay more attention to the shots of the kids...,

of course they are great shots of some awefully cute kids.
