Cannot Do Anything Right Today..

[Mary Anne]

I have a bad head cold and seem to be sneezing all the time between that and the jolly wind it hard to get anything in focus today.

Wanted to take a pic of the two new Louisiana Iris I bought at the Market on Sunday
This was the best I could do

No names of course but who cares they were so cheap potted up and blooming like crazy.





Will try again another time with this Cattleya Orchid as a few more stem on it.



This Local Resident Noisy Miner got very upset when I stood the Potted Orchid in its drinking water to get a pic.



All taken with my Tamron 90mm Macro Lens..

He's a miner not a gardener!!
Nice flowers nicely captured. If these are your bad days effort I'm looking forward to your next "good" day.

And he is a lovely Miner too they are so friendly.
I have just come in from trying to take another pic of the orchid its still windy
This time I had the Beast on the camera the 300mm but its too dark Oh well another day
Thank You Garry. On my good days I am the Gardener not the Photographer..

nice set Mary Anne. Love the orchid and ours has just come out too. Beautiful colour arn`t they. Must be purple season as we have three orchids out ATM, all different types and all purple.

You could be right there Cat I have never seen them really happy like the Butcherbirds that live here..
Feeling a little better now Thanks Cat, this morning I had no voice, not the least funny when the phone rings..
Especially when you are told your new glasses are in, and you eyes wont stop running either.

Thanks Graeme yes its certainly Orchid time, and indeed they are a beautiful colour
I have two different purple ones flowering.
Then on Sunday I bought another Cattleya Orchid Yellow with Wine Lips the label states
Looks Cream and Red to me.

Hi Jeanette and Thanks, maybe its my watery eyes but two of them look out of focus to me.
I too adore flowers and birds and with so many varieties and colours can you blame us..
