How about an open thread for all things floral. Here's one of mine. These are Puruvian Lillies I've been told. I like the sequence of young buds blossming into the five adults. The different stages of growth.

Rich, intense color. Do you raise these things or did you buy them, or were you traveling?

I've always like to photograph flowers: Color transparency, B&W negative, 35mm, 6x6cm, 4x5
For 35mm I used to use Kodachrome but because of long delays in lab turnaround (and loss of two rolls), I have switched to Fujichrome Astia 100F after much contemplation and advice from these forums. I opted for the Astia 100F because I wanted to contain the contrast for Ilfochrome printing. I like the results but am curious about Velvia, which I plan to try.
I have fallen behind in filing transparencies, mainly because I wanted to file the flowers according to their proper "common" name as well as the scientific name: neither of which I am qualified to do. Consequently it is time consuming and easy to put off into the future.
I got flower here!
I edit this already, changed the background :D

Sad to see the demise of a vase of once-beautiful tulips.
henry, BRILLIANT follow-up to ray's lovely print... kinda like a before and after. i love that while the tulips look all dried up, they are in fact sitting in a glass of water. which reminds me, my wife is returning home tomorrow afternoon - i gotta go water her plants! oh man, am i ever in trouble...
I rarely do flowers - but this is a recent effort.

Domenico, both are great, but the top one is just fantastic!
Marko, thank you.
Unfortunately I am never able to get the right tonalities in the net.
The beauty in the Rose is in its whites in the petals, that here look like a dismal grey.
This is actually a photographs I took of the image with a cheap digital camera.
I can't expect much now, can I?
The tonality may be limited, but the overal relationship is still very clear, and the web does not limit composition and sharpness anyway. That being said, I'd love to see it for real some day. :)
Just about in time... for this picture. Hope you enjoy it.Thanks for checking.
Hi Domenico,
Glad to see you here. Great picture. Is the lens for sale ? :)
TT
The BW work is mostly very good (some is even stunning), as usuall. But the orchid of Darr Almeda in color is plain wonderful. If you don't mind, I'll add this to my projects, try to get a picture at least half that beautiful ;)
Well it hasn't quite bloomed yet :D
